A few years later, Swaggart would again be caught with a prostitute, but rather than confessing, he would tell his congregation, “The Lord told me it’s flat none of your business.”

AS EVANGELICALS BEGAN TO MOBILIZE AS A partisan political force, they did so by rallying to defend “family values.” But family values politics was never about protecting the well- being of families generally. Fundamentally, evangelical “family values” entailed the reassertion of patriarchal authority. At its most basic level, family values politics was about sex and power.
