I’m surprised that David glossed right over the question about the discussion of masculinity in the 90s on the right, dismissing it as something that didn’t exist. I certainly remember an evangelical organization called Promise Keepers that was filling stadiums and catching even main stream media attention. Maybe it’s not strictly political, but it was driving some amount of thought at the time.

So - shameless self-plug here, but you bring up Sohrab Ahmari's love of Constantine. I actually wrote an essay over here (https://acoup.blog/2019/09/07/new-acquisitions-class-status-and-the-early-church/) on the deep flaws in Ahmari's understanding of the early church and Constantine's role in spreading it.
