Crown and Crozier
In Crown and Crozier, we invite leading thinkers to explore how the human experience is shaped by the interplay between Church and State, and what this means for tackling the great challenges of today. Join us as we examine what’s at stake for us as citizens and as a society in the dynamic engagement between civil and religious authority. The common good, basic freedoms, dignity of the person, administration of justice, self-government, the preservation of truth, goodness and beauty - all this and more hangs in the balance.

The Case for Christian Nationalism ~ Stephen Wolfe
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.
