Agenda: The Historical Roots of Pete Hegseth’s “Theology of Violence”

Tonight we’ll watch and discuss an interview with Mark Ramm of Transparency Cascade Press, who traces how Pete Hegseth’s “theology of violence” draws on older strands of American Christian thought. Ramm shows how ideas about hierarchy, masculinity, and the moral use of force echo arguments once used by pro‑slavery theologians and how these themes have resurfaced across two centuries of American religious and political life. We’ll explore how this long-running tension—between a Christianity that enforces hierarchy and one that seeks liberation—continues to shape public policy today, especially in immigrant enforcement and the clashes between federal agents and protesters.

For Those Who Want to go Deeper:

Two of Ramm’s articles related to tonight’s topic:

  1. The Pentagon Confirmed Hegseth Admires a Theologian Who Called Slavery “Benevolent”
  2. Noem’s Podium “One of Ours, All of Yours”: The Ideology of Collective Punishment
