The Rise and Influence of Christian Nationalism (Two Parts)

Christianity is a religion. Nevertheless, with the development of nationalism in the past few centuries, in some circles, Christianity has developed into both a religion and a political movement. This movement is known as Christian nationalism; it seeks to bring Christianity into government and to lead nations using Christian principles, Christian ideas, and sometimes, is largely supported by a Christian imperialist way of thinking. This pair of lectures will dive deep into the origins of Christian nationalism and how it affects life in the United States.
