A revelatory account of how the family behind Hobby Lobby rose to political prominence and used their influence--and fortune--to push a radical religious agenda "Blanding's gripping narrative exposes the damage that has been wrought by a single family devoted to both God and profit." --Joshua Hammer, New York Times bestselling author of The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu Hobby Lobby is a multibillion-dollar craft store chain with more than a thousand US locations, founded and owned by the Greens--an evangelical Christian family committed to establishing the Bible as the ultimate authority behind our laws and society. In The Gospel According to Hobby Lobby, Michael Blanding reveals how the Greens have quietly yet effectively used their vast wealth to spread their beliefs throughout the US and beyond. They have run expensive, wide-reaching ad campaigns to inculcate biblical values and have propped up evangelical education through donations of money and land. They successfully fought a Supreme Court case to deny their employees insurance coverage for contraception and funneled millions of dollars to organizations working to overturn Roe v. Wade and to undermine LGBTQ rights. And, for their multimillion-dollar Museum of the Bible just blocks from the US Capitol building, they've acquired looted, stolen, and forged biblical antiquities from the Middle East. In a riveting exposé, Blanding traces the Greens' efforts to sell their evangelical mission. Captivating and disturbing, The Gospel According to Hobby Lobby exposes the pivotal role the Green family has played in funding and empowering America's dangerous, ascendant Christian nationalist movement.
