Summer 2024
Sunday School - Christian Nationalism
Sunday August 25 at 12:45pm
In our context, Christian nationalism is the belief that America is a Christian nation and should implement laws and policies reflective of its Judeo Christian heritage. This class describes how Christian nationalists make use of the Old and New Testament to define America’s identity and some of the pros and cons of religious nationalism in general. It concludes by critiquing present day examples of Christian nationalism as examples of Judaizing and Gnostic heresy.
