"Heavenly Homeland: The Myth of a Christian Nation" kicks off a five-part audio series by the Faithful Politics Podcast. This series dives into Christian Nationalism in America, a blend of faith and politics that's been a part of the country's history since its founding .
Brian Kaylor, a seasoned journalist at Word&Way, initiates the dialogue, focusing on Christian Nationalism's faith-politics intersection. Robert Jones of the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) follows, discussing Christian Nationalism's effects on American democracy and culture, especially its fusion of Christian beliefs with national identity.
Kate Carté, history professor, explores the claim of America as a Christian nation, a notion intensified in the 20th century amidst societal shifts. Kristin Kobes Du Mez, a NYT bestselling author, analyzes the Christian right's rise and its impact on American culture and policy.
Theologian Tremper Longman delves into biblical hermeneutics' role in Christian Nationalism, showing how Bible interpretations can back nationalist ideologies. The discussion concludes with Isaac Sharp, spotlighting evangelicalism's diversity and the perspectives of marginalized groups within the evangelical community.
