The Threat of White Christian Nationalism - Part II: The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory with Tim Alberta

In the second episode of “The Threat of White Christian Nationalism”, host Reed Galen is joined by journalist and bestselling author Tim Alberta. They discuss the societal perceptions of American evangelicals and the flaws/fallacies within their movement, why bad history plus bad theology equals the perfect formula for christian nationalism, and why Trumpism resonates so strongly with Americans who want theology to fit their politics…rather than the other way around. If you’d like to hear more from Tim Alberta, be sure to check out his work for The Atlantic and pick up his latest book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism.
