| 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 |
