Frequently Shouted Questions About Christian Nationalism

"Pastor Doug Wilson is the Christian nationalist they warned you about." So said Tucker Carlson, and Wilson is not running from the label. In this pointed, accessible book, he addresses the questions most frequently shouted at the Christian Nationalism movement: Is it a threat to democracy? Is it a cover for authoritarianism? Does it mean women in red dresses and president-priests and Anabaptists in dungeons? Wilson answers each objection with characteristic wit and biblical clarity, dismantling the media caricature and replacing it with something far more ordinary and far more dangerous to the secular consensus: an argument rooted in Scripture, in America's founding, and in the long tradition of faith informing public life. The picture that emerges is not dystopian. What the mainstream press calls an extremist fringe position turns out to be, upon examination, a fairly straightforward claim: that Jesus is Lord over all of life, including politics, and that a society shaped by that conviction tends to be a better place to live than one that isn't. Christian Nationalism, as Wilson presents it, is as American as apple pie. This is a book for Christians weary of the hysteria and ready to think clearly about what faithful engagement with politics actually requires.
