American Idolatry
How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church
About this book
2024 Midwest Book Award Winner in Religion & Philosophy
Power. Fear. Violence. These three idols of Christian nationalism are corrupting American Christianity.
Andrew Whitehead is a leading scholar on Christian nationalism in America and speaks widely on its effects within Christian communities. In this book, he shares his journey and reveals how Christian nationalism threatens the spiritual lives of American Christians and the church.
Sharing stories from pastors, teachers, and other lay Christians, Whitehead explores
● the harm we cause our neighbors when we embrace the idols of power, fear, and violence;
● key examples that demonstrate how these idols violate core Christian beliefs;
● expressions of Christianity that confront Christian nationalism;
● the work we can do to disentangle Christianity from Christian nationalism; and
● a faithful path forward, embodying the life and teachings of Jesus and the gospel.
"Heartfelt, incisive, and worthy of thoughtful consideration."--Library Journal
"A fascinating investigation of politics and racism in American Christian evangelicalism."--Foreword Reviews
