I highly recommend this one, if only for the reason that Whitehead and Perry give a distinct definition of what Christian Nationalism actually is. On social media for the past 6 months many have tried to paint Christian Nationalists as synonymous with white evangelicals, which is simply not the case given the data.

Christian Nationalism is instead a political and social phenomenon rather than a religious one. In fact, Whitehead and Perry’s study shows that Christians who are committed to the faith are less likely to espouse ideas related to Christian Nationalism.

This stuff is important because it’s political idolatry. As Christians, we’ve got to reject every aspect of it.

I’ll read more on this topic this year, but this was a good start. There are times where the authors draw conclusions that I think are necessarily apparent from the data, but I found this generally helpful.

Also for your consideration, this great review from Timothy Keller. Why did I even bother writing one? Mostly kidding
