Take 3: "Christian Nationalism is the view that a country was founded as a Christian nation, that it should protect and promote Christianity in special ways, and that God will bless the nation if it remains faithful to Him."
The recent edition of Christianity Today has an editorial suggesting that Christians might want to "sit out the fight for tax exempt status" for churches. Immediately after that suggestion, readers are invited to give a tax-deductible donations to CT, a 501(c)(3) organization.
John Wilsey and I need a good definition of Christian Nationalism for our book on the subject. Here is our first attempt: "Christian Nationalism is the view that God specially favors one nation and will bless that nation if it remains faithful to Him." Thoughts?
Agreed. My copy arrived yesterday and it took me about an hour and a half to read (I'm a slow reader). It is a sloppy, silly book. The only parts that aren't silly are those that discuss truths that should be obvious to any orthodox Christian.
Guys, this book isn’t just bad, it’s bad at being bad. What is this, like 16 pt font? At 132 pp, it’s essentially a glorified pamphlet. Opened up to a random page and found a typo. What a brilliant scam.
Was the War for American Independence a biblical and just war? Most Christian scholars who have addressed this question contend that it wasn't, but I argue in my new book that it was. If you order it today, you can be among the first to read it.
I'm a little disappointed that fans of the 1619 Project have not attacked me for this little essay. Come on, let's have a debate!

I'm thrilled to be going to the University of Louisville to give talks about my forthcoming book AND the so-called threat of Christian nationalism. Many thanks to my good friend Gary Gregg for arranging them.
I had the opportunity to lead the John Jay Fellows in a discussion of my Christian founding book at ISI's new Linda L. Bean Center. What a great group!
