Christian Nationalism Round-Up
Okay, there’s been a lot on the web about Christian Nationalism of late.
Last year I wrote a heap on this subject with Seven Trumpet Blasts against Christian Nationalism, With God on our Side: The Perils of Christian Nationalism, The Death of Queen Elizabeth II and the Ghost of Christian Nationalism, Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church, Al Mohler's “Discipleship of the Vote”, and Can Christians Influence the State without Summoning the Ghost of Constantine?
More recently …
9 Marks has a great set of articles on A New Christian Authoritarianism? Christian Nationalism, Theonomy, and Magisterial Protestantism.
Patrick Schreiner has a good piece over at TGC on The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Christian Nationalism that I recommend too.
Jemar Tisby also writes on It Can Happen Here: The Links Between White Christian Nationalism and Fascism.
Samuel L. Perry and Andrew L. Whitehead write on the uncanny similarities between Christian Nationalism and Fascism.
Even Kevin De Young, not normally my go-to guy for anything, has written a genuinely good critical review of Stephen Wolfe’s book on Christian Nationalism over at Themelios which appears to walk back from his previous article that wonders what all the fuss is about.
Note, more is gonna happen in this space with Doug Wilson’s book Mere Christendom about to come out. I read somewhere that Marjorie Taylor Greene has a book on this topic apparently ghostwritten by Milo Yiannopoulos (but I can’t find a link to it for some reason).
How concerned are you about Christian nationalism? Obviously this is mostly for Americans, but in other places I guess it can become an issue too.
Otherwise, I have a paid subscriber post coming out on Thursday on resistance to Christian Nationalism which previews a forthcoming book I’m working on which requires getting an old duo back together (let the reader understand!).
MIke, great list of reading material on this critical topic for us in the Church here in the States. I’m pre-ordering Wilson’s book. I’m curious to read how he conflates Christianity and Nationalism and makes his case.
