When Donald Trump unexpectedly won the American presidency in 2016, he was carried to victory by what seemed to some like an unusual demographic: white evangelicals. According to exit polls, 81% of white evangelicals voted for Trump, despite - or perhaps, as Kristin Kobes Du Mez suggests - because of his racism, sexism, and open displays of power. In the wake of Trump's election, commentators questioned whether the future of American Christianity lay with Trump - and whether there was resistance within American evangelicalism of Trump and his vision. In this dissertation, I look to a community of progressive Christian women writers whose memoirs and public lives articulate a counternarrative to the white supremacist, patriarchal Christianity advanced by Trump and his supporters. I focus specifically on the figure of Rachel Held Evans, blogger, writer, and critic of white evangelicalism who died unexpectedly in 2019 at the age of 37, leaving behind a grieving community and questions about the longevity of her vision for a decentralized church led from the margins. In this dissertation, I draw on autobiography studies, intersectional feminist theories, various liberation theologies, affect theory, and religious studies to analyze the memoirs written by Held Evans and her cohort of progressive Christian women. I trace genealogies of the memoir as political and personal act - most prominently the traditions of the spiritual autobiography and of feminist consciousness-raising through testimony. In the context of these genealogies and methods, I read five related memoirs: Held Evans's Searching for Sunday (2015), Nadia Bolz-Weber's Pastrix (2013), Austin Channing Brown's I'm Still Here (2018), Kaitlin Curtice's Native (2020), and Emmy Kegler's One Coin Found (2019). I demonstrate how, though these women draw on different archives and have diverse understandings of their relationship to God, Christianity, and the church, they work together to produce a community of mutual affirmation, justice-focused Christianity, and counternarrative against hegemonic white American evangelicalism.
