The Case for Christian Nationalism
The Case for Christian Nationalism by Stephen Wolfe, published by Canon Press in 2022, explores the concept of Christian nationalism through a critical lens. This 478-page book addresses the prevailing narratives surrounding Christian nationalism, particularly those propagated by evangelical elites and progressive media. Wolfe argues that rather than being a divisive ideology, Christian nationalism can serve as a necessary alternative to secularism, advocating for a form of governance that aligns with Christian values and community well-being.
In this edition, Wolfe presents a comprehensive argument drawn from Scripture and insights from various Christian thinkers throughout history. He contends that Christian nationalism is not merely a reactionary stance but a framework for fostering local community and leadership. The book delves into the implications of nationalism and its relationship with religion, politics, and state, challenging readers to reconsider their understanding of these intertwined subjects. Through this exploration, Wolfe aims to equip readers with the knowledge needed to engage in contemporary political debates surrounding nationalism and its role in society.
Official synopsis Publisher
Evangelical elites and the progressive media complex want you to think that Christian nationalism is hopelessly racist, bigoted, and an idol for right-wing Christians. Is Christian nationalism the golden calf of the religious right—or is it the only way forward?
Few “experts” answering this question actually know what nationalism is–and even fewer know what could make it Christian. In The Case for Christian Nationalism, Stephen Wolfe offers a tour-de-force argument for the good of Christian nationalism, taken from Scripture and Christian thinkers ancient, medieval, and modern. Christian nationalism is not only the necessary alternative to secularism, it is the form of government we must pursue if we want to love our neighbors and our country.
Wolfe shows that the world’s post-war consensus has successfully routed the United States towards a gynocratic Global American Empire (GAE). Rather than the religious right’s golden calf, Christian nationalism is the idea that people in the same place and culture should live together and seek one another’s good. The grace of the gospel does not eliminate our geography, our people, and our neighbors. Instead, it restores us to pursue local needs and local leadership freely and without apology.
If you want to be able to answer the political debate raging today, you must understand the arguments in The Case for Christian Nationalism.
