The Case for Christian Nationalism
What does it mean to call America a Christian nation?
The Case for Christian Nationalism argues for something older, deeper, and more biblical: a nation whose public ethic is shaped by the truth of God, the dignity of man, the moral law of Scripture, and the lordship of Jesus Christ over every area of life.
Dr. Christopher Garrow traces America's moral story from its founding assumptions to its present secular crisis. He argues that the Christian ethic embedded in America's founding documents helped create the moral framework that later fueled abolition, religious liberty, women's suffrage, care for the poor, protection of the family, and the defense of human dignity. But as the nation abandoned Christianity for secularism, naturalism, and moral relativism, its laws and institutions began to reflect a different gospel.
Inside, Garrow examines:
The Christian moral foundation of America's founding
The difference between a Christian nation and a secular state
How federal power, courts, education, and culture helped reshape America's public ethic
Why the church retreated from politics and public righteousness
How abortion, marriage, family, education, and human dignity reveal the moral direction of a nation
Why Christians must speak as salt and light, not with fear, silence, or worldly tactics
How churches can recover their public voice without compromising the gospel
The Case for Christian Nationalism is a bold, pastoral, and unapologetic argument that nations are never morally neutral. Every nation serves some vision of truth. Every law reflects some ethic. Every public square has a god.
The question is not whether America will be religious.
The question is which religion will rule its public life.
