Chuck Darwin"The Case for Christian Nationalism" is a 2022 book by Stephen Wolfe.The book argues for <a href="https://c.im/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christian</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nationalism</a> based on cultural and ethnic affinity from a Christian perspective, and a retrieval of traditional Christian political thoughtSummaryStephen 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">#people</a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/group" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#group</a>".He argues that <a href="https://c.im/tags/homogeneity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homogeneity</a> within each people-group allows it to more properly pursue the good by ordering earthly life toward heavenly life, and that while a principal image of heavenly life can be found in Christian worship, 💥only a Christian nation can provide a complete image.Wolfe argues for homogeneity by constructing a theological anthropology, positing that humans would have formed separate, culturally distinct communities, even if the fall of man had not occurred.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" target="_blank">#theocratic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Caesarism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Caesarism</a>", a <a href="https://c.im/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christian</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/prince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prince</a>.Wolfe follows early Reformed thinkers, such as Francis Turretin, in 🧨 assigning the government a role in suppressing outward displays of "false religion", -- but not a power to coerce the conscience or inward religion.The civil magistrate is tasked with wielding "formal civil power" for the public good.He also argues that Christian nationalism is compatible with the tradition of the American founding.Reception:In a review, Kevin DeYoung of The Gospel Coalition gave the book one star out of five, stating, "I understand and sympathize with the desire for something like Christian Nationalism, but if this book represents the best of that ism, then ➡️ Christian Nationalism is not the answer the church or our nation needs."Paul Matzko of Reason magazine called the book "<a href="https://c.im/tags/segregationist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#segregationist</a>", stating, "Wolfe's ethnicized vision of Christian nationalism is a reminder that, in a post-liberal vacuum, ➡️ fearful American Christians have become easy targets for people whispering to take up the sword of the state and smite their foes."James Clark of The North American Anglican wrote that "Wolfe's account of revolution could be stronger" but he has nevertheless "written something important here, something that deserves to be read and contemplated."Owen Strachan suggests that ⚠️the New Testament is largely missing from "Wolfe's Thomistic project of political philosophy."The book's epilogue has a looser tone and structure from the preceding chapters. Reviewers have called it a "<a href="https://c.im/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rant</a>" that attacks many cultural and political issues, including "<a href="https://c.im/tags/gynocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gynocracy</a>" (rule by women), <a href="https://c.im/tags/sexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sexual</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/deviancy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deviancy</a>, and the "<a href="https://c.im/tags/globalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#globalist</a> American <a href="https://c.im/tags/empire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#empire</a>", and which calls for banishing or <a href="https://c.im/tags/executing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#executing</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/heretics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heretics</a>.Reviewers have said that the book calls for <a href="https://c.im/tags/blood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blood</a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/and" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#and</a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soil</a> nationalism<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Case_for_Christian_Nationalism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Case_for_Christian_Nationalism</a>

Chuck DarwinWilliam Wolfe served in the Trump administration both as the deputy assistant secretary of defense and as director of House affairs at the Department of State. He is also an alumnus of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Heritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Heritage</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Action</a>, a sister organization of the Heritage Foundation, the arch-conservative think tank behind Project 2025, whose chief architect, Russell Vought, posted on X that he was “proud to work with @William_E_Wolfe on scoping out a sound Christian Nationalism.” A few months later, the Bucks County Beacon uncovered a lengthy online manifesto on the goals of Christian nationalists. The document, which listed Wolfe and Joel Webbon as contributing editors and Oklahoma Sen. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dusty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dusty</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Deevers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Deevers</a> as a co-author, called for “civil magistrates” to usher in 💥“the establishment of the Ten Commandments as the foundational law of the nation.”The manifesto doesn’t specify exactly how Christian nationalists should achieve these goals. As Tabachnick, the extremism researcher, interprets it, the TheoBros are imagining a utopia where “they are going to be free to be entrepreneurs in all different senses, including the tech world that they’re mixing with so freely.” The key, she said, is that authoritarianism “is required to have the utopian vision.”Last year, the extremism watchdog group Right Wing Watch posted a video of Wolfe quoting a scripture passage. There are times when “even the God of peace proclaims by his providence, ‘to arms!’” he says. “If we have ever lived in a point of time in American history since then that we could argue that now is a time ‘to arms’ again, I think we are getting close.”William Wolfe’s Christian nationalism manifesto made the rounds on social media, but in mainstream conservative outlets, it was <a href="https://c.im/tags/Stephen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stephen</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wolfe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wolfe</a> (no relation to William) who brought TheoBro ideas to the wider world. In his book, which was praised by editors at the Federalist and the American Conservative, Wolfe paints America as a “<a href="https://c.im/tags/gynocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gynocracy</a>” whose government and culture have been feminized by unhappy women leaders. (Sound familiar?) He has stated on X that women should not have the right to vote, and that “interethnic” marriage can be “sinful.” <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener
