Overview

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.
