A Mission-Field to Reach, Not an Enemy to Attack

Pastor Caleb Campbell has watched as Christian nationalism has taken over large swaths of the United States. And he's suffered the relational fallout of standing against it, both in his community and his church.

Campbell argues that while it's possible to be both a Christian and hold Christian nationalist ideas, Christian nationalism itself is an un-Christian worldview, rooted in ideas about power, race, and property that are irreconcilable with Christian faith. Campbell has come to see himself as a missionary to Christian nationalists, reaching out to them with the love and freedom found in Christ.

Disarming Leviathan aims to:

provide a deeper understanding of the modern American Christian Nationalist movements and their relationship to American Evangelicalism. explore reasons why so many of our loved ones are committed to it. equip Jesus-followers with loving, hospitable methods for engaging American Christian Nationalists. provide graciously subversive methods for responding to American Christian Nationalist rhetoric, beliefs, and practices.

Christian nationalism has become an established feature of the American political landscape. With Disarming Leviathan, you can be prepared to confront it with compassion and hospitality, and with the truth of the good news of Jesus.
