How the Bible Broke the American Mind
Visiting Assistant Professor Jeremiah W. Cataldo
Jeremiah W. Cataldo provides a searing account of how dominant evangelical approaches to interpreting the Bible actively shape—and increasingly distort—America’s cultural and political landscape. Rather than treating Scripture as a historical text open to inquiry, these traditions elevate a closed, monotheistic interpretive system that rejects scientific reasoning, privileges literalism, and weaponizes biblical meaning to define insiders and outsiders.
Through accessible analysis of frequently invoked bible passages and long-standing interpretive habits, Cataldo shows how these frameworks legitimize exclusion, deepen prejudice, and supply theological justification for positions on gender, education, nationalism, and even foreign policy. By tracing how biblical interpretation has shifted from ancient contexts to modern culture-war narratives, this book reveals why appeals to “divine truth” increasingly override evidence, expertise, and dialogue. It argues that what many defend as “faithfulness to Scripture” is often an ideological project that reinforces anti-intellectualism and fuels today’s intensifying social divides.
Blending scholarly insight with a sharp, accessible voice, Cataldo demonstrates that rethinking how we read the Bible isn’t simply an academic concern—it is essential for confronting the widening fractures shaping American public life.
