What is a nation? What is a Christian nation? Is nationalism virtuous? What does it mean to practice "complacent" love, which is the natural expression of a greater affinity for those closest to us? How can we expect to renew our society and civilization in the absence of committing ourselves as persons and as a nation to Christ? And is a Capitol Hill rioter from January 6, 2021 the archetype or the caricature of a Christian nationalist?
We explore these and other questions with our guest, Dr. Stephen Wolfe, author of The Case for Christian Nationalism.
Dr. Wolfe has a PhD in political philosophy and is a country scholar based in North Carolina. He’s the co-host of the Ars Politica podcast and is a contributor to numerous U.S.-based Christian publications.
