Chuck Darwin<p>"The Case for Christian Nationalism"<br>is a 2022 book by Stephen Wolfe.</p><p>The book argues for <a href="https://c.im/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Christian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nationalism</span></a> based on cultural and ethnic affinity from a Christian perspective,<br>and a retrieval of traditional Christian political thought</p><p>Summary</p><p>Stephen Wolfe approaches nationalism as becoming conscious of, and "being for", one's own "<a href="https://c.im/tags/people" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>people</span></a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/group" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>group</span></a>".</p><p>He argues that <a href="https://c.im/tags/homogeneity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homogeneity</span></a> within each people-group allows it to more properly pursue the good <br>by ordering earthly life toward heavenly life, <br>and that while a principal image of heavenly life can be found in Christian worship, <br>💥only a Christian nation can provide a complete image.</p><p>Wolfe argues for homogeneity by constructing a theological anthropology, <br>positing that humans would have formed separate, culturally distinct communities, <br>even if the fall of man had not occurred.</p><p>In addition, he argues that this should be accomplished through a "measured <a href="https://c.im/tags/theocratic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prince</span></a>.</p><p>Wolfe follows early Reformed thinkers, such as Francis Turretin, in<br>🧨 assigning the government a role in suppressing outward displays of "false religion", </p><p>-- but not a power to coerce the conscience or inward religion.</p><p>The civil magistrate is tasked with wielding "formal civil power" for the public good.</p><p>He also argues that Christian nationalism is compatible with the tradition of the American founding.</p><p>Reception:</p><p>In a review, Kevin DeYoung of The Gospel Coalition gave the book one star out of five, stating, <br>"I understand and sympathize with the desire for something like Christian Nationalism, <br>but if this book represents the best of that ism, <br>then ➡️ Christian Nationalism is not the answer the church or our nation needs."</p><p>Paul Matzko of Reason magazine called the book "<a href="https://c.im/tags/segregationist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>segregationist</span></a>", <br>stating, <br>"Wolfe's ethnicized vision of Christian nationalism is a reminder that, in a post-liberal vacuum, <br>➡️ fearful American Christians have become easy targets for people whispering to take up the sword of the state and smite their foes."</p><p>James Clark of The North American Anglican wrote that "Wolfe's account of revolution could be stronger" <br>but he has nevertheless "written something important here, <br>something that deserves to be read and contemplated."</p><p>Owen Strachan suggests that ⚠️the New Testament is largely missing from "Wolfe's Thomistic project of political philosophy."</p><p>The book's epilogue has a looser tone and structure from the preceding chapters. <br>Reviewers have called it a "<a href="https://c.im/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rant</span></a>" that attacks many cultural and
