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.

Last year Stephen Wolfe's book The Case for Christian Nationalism was lauded by leading 'National Conservative' intellectuals like Yoram Hazony & Rusty Reno. Today he says Jews & Catholics led a 'replacement movement' to undermine the US's 'core ethnicity'- i.e. white nationalism https://t.co/D72bZThshT

Man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.
Ultimately, why would a reasonable person seek to correct the weaknesses of liberalism—many of them real—with authoritarianism at best, and totalitarianism at worst? https://t.co/CWlldJ6I4e
"A pioneering work that paves the way for a new genre of American Christian-nationalist political theory. Relentlessly innovative, it combines 18th century Presbyterian nationalist political thought with a concern for masculinity and self-reliance drawn from the contemporary dissident right" Yoram Hazony, author of Conservatism: A Rediscovery and The Virtue of Nationalism
