# Wild Faith Talia Lavin's investigative tour of the Christian Right's interior world — the demonology, [[Spiritual Warfare]] cosmology, corporal-punishment doctrine, Christian homeschooling networks, purity culture, and the [[Quiverfull]] movement — built on original interviews with survivors of fundamentalist upbringings. ## The Argument Lavin's case: a militant Christian supremacist movement is not adjacent to American politics but actively reshaping law and family life, and its internal culture — where demons are literal, children are battlegrounds, and women's bodies are reproductive infrastructure — explains its external politics. The theology of spiritual warfare converts political opponents into agents of Satan, making compromise theologically impossible. Where Kruse and Seidel work the historical and legal registers, Lavin supplies the **movement ethnography**: what it feels like inside, and what it costs the children raised there. ## RWKB Relevance The lived-experience pillar of the [[Christian Nationalism]] cluster, wiring it to the vault's dominionism, purity-culture, and homeschooling threads — and a primary-source record (survivor testimony) the policy-level books don't capture.
