Abstract "An expert on Christian nationalism identifies three areas-power, fear, and violence-where nationalism conflicts with core gospel beliefs and reveals its theological and spiritual costs in the church before pointing a way forward"-- Provided by publisher.
Abstract Power. Fear. Violence. These three idols of Christian nationalism are corrupting American Christianity. Whitehead reveals how Christian nationalism threatens the spiritual lives of American Christians and the church. He uses two key examples-- racism and xenophobia-- to demonstrate that the three idols violate core Christian beliefs. In furthering conversation about what Christian nationalism threatens, Whitehead explains how it can be faced-- and why it is vitally important to do so. -- adapted from Goodreads info
