End of Empathy
In "End of Empathy," author John W. Compton delves into the intriguing dynamics of faith and politics, particularly focusing on the surprising support that Donald Trump received from white evangelicals during the 2016 presidential election. With a staggering 81% of this demographic casting their votes for Trump, Compton explores the implications of this shift in values within a community traditionally rooted in moral principles. Published in 2020 and spanning 408 pages, this book challenges readers to reconsider the intersection of Christianity and political allegiance in contemporary America. Compton's insightful analysis not only sheds light on the motivations behind this support but also raises critical questions about empathy, morality, and the future of church influence in politics. A must-read for anyone interested in church history and the evolving landscape of American values, "End of Empathy" is available now for those seeking a deeper understanding of this complex issue.
