Is Christian Nationalism on the Rise?
Part Two, of a Two-Part Conversation
We hear rumblings. Christian Nationalism is on the rise. What has prompted the emergence of this ideology? How are ‘Christian’ ideas used for nationalist purposes? How do they re-define the meaning of “Christian civilization”? What fears and aspirations drive the development of movements to privilege a particular understanding of Christianity and defining it as a “tribal religion”? What are key religious leaders saying about Christian Nationalism? How may we understand what is behind this movement and speak to those who are inclined to support it?
