Gender and Race in Christian Nationalism: Parts 7,8

Last updated on: May 18, 2024 at 8:50 am   By Ted Peters

Both white Americans along with minority Americans are feeling the kind of anxiety that leads to resentment and violence. Traditionalists fear loss of a past way of life. Progressives fear loss of recent gains in human rights. Both fears are exacerbated by the MAGA-Machiavellian wing of the Republican Party. Progressive Christians Against Christian Nationalism (CACN) are displacing their resentment at Donald Trump onto evangelicals by painting evangelicals with the colors of Christian nationalism. That is, CACNers blame white evangelicals for Christian nationalist extremism. Such division among Christians only emboldens the Trumpers. Read more

Roger Olson on Christian Nationalism

Last updated on: May 10, 2024 at 3:36 pm   By Ted Peters

Roger Olson prophetically critiques White American Christian Nationalism (WACN), sharply distinguishing WACN from spiritually healthy evangelical Christian faith. The separation of WACN from evangelical spirituality is already declared within the evangelical camp itself. There is no need for progressives or liberals to mercilessly attack the evangelicals from the outside. Read more

Measuring Christian Nationalism, Parts 5,6: God’s Plan

Last updated on: May 7, 2024 at 10:52 am   By Ted Peters

Progressive Christians Against Christian Nationalism (CACN) are displacing their anger at Donald Trump onto evangelicals by painting evangelicals with the colors of American Christian nationalism (ACN). That is, CACNers blame white evangelicals for Christian nationalism. This is a mistake. Evangelical leaders themselves are anti-ACN. Read more

Measuring Christian Nationalism, Parts 3,4: Church-State?

Last updated on: May 10, 2024 at 3:34 pm   By Ted Peters

It is said that Christian nationalists want both to keep church and state separate -- to support religious liberty -- while at the same time establishing Christianity as a priveleged religion. Well, which is it? Christians Against Christian Nationalism keep us confused and off balance here. Read more

Trump and Arizona on Abortion: Abortion 5

Last updated on: April 10, 2024 at 1:31 pm   By Ted Peters

Here I sin boldly by asking the Democratic Party to (1) maintain support for a woman’s access to health care and protect her reproductive rights; (2) add a public concern for the well-being and moral protectability of the unborn child; and (3) encourage state or even federal legislatures to pass creative legislation that that addresses both. Read more
