How an Empire of Craft Stores Pushed an Agenda of Christian Nationalism

Hobby Lobby is a multibillion-dollar chain of craft stores. Its founder, David Green, built a craft empire - and used his fortune to push a radical religious agenda, donating billions of dollars to right-wing evangelical causes, running advertisements for the Bible, crusading against birth control, and stealing, looting, and forging artifacts for their Museum of the Bible. The Gospel According to Hobby Lobby: Inside a Billionaire Family’s Quest to Craft a Christian Nation is a new book by Michael Blanding and tells the story of the Green family. Blanding discusses the book and Hobby Lobby’s enduring effects on American politics. Cover art courtesy of Hatchette Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
