An Evening with Kristin Kobes du Mez

Join us for an evening with Kristin Du Mez,
author of The New York Times bestseller Jesus and John Wayne 

Kristin Du Mez's writing is described as "urgent and sharp-elbowed," and Du Mez does not refrain from presenting the hard truths that history has to offer Americans—and especially American Christians. Her unflinching examination of the American church, however, is ultimately a call to confession, a call to lament, and a call to greater faithfulness.

An academic by training, Du Mez holds a PhD in US history from the University of Notre Dame, but she writes and speaks for popular audiences in an entertaining style that is equal parts winsome and hard-hitting. Her bylines include The New York Times, the Washington Post, Daily Beast, Religion & Politics, Religion News Service, NBCNews.com, and Christianity Today.

Her work has also garnered extensive national and international attention, as a feature on NPR's Morning Edition, PBS’s Amanpour & Co, the BBC, and in national outlets in China, Japan, Canada, Australia, Spain, Brazil, Germany, and the Netherlands. She is a frequent commenter on religion and politics in the national media at outlets such as the Washington Post, Religion News Service, NPR, CBS, Newsweek, CNN, and the BBC.
