NOTES

In Guns We Trust investigates the surprising and often troubling connection between white evangelical Christianity and firearms in the United States. Veteran journalist William J.

Highlighting activists and dissenting Christians working for change, the book offers a deeply researched, humanized, and urgent look at how this "locked-and-loaded" Christianity shapes American society-- and how conversation, courage, and resistance might foster peace --
