Christian Nationalism? The Bible, America, and How They Go Together | #91
About this episode
Zach and Brandon discuss the relationship between Scripture, politics, and culture, focusing on Christian nationalism and the public witness of the church.
What does Scripture have to do with politics, culture, America, and how we live in public? In this episode, Zach and Brandon pause before finishing the Gospel of Mark to discuss a timely and complicated question: How should Christians think about authority, culture, Christian nationalism, and the public witness of the church? The conversation begins with the authority of Scripture, and what happens when God’s Word confronts our assumptions, preferences, or cultural moment. From there, they unpack why Western civilization cannot be understood apart from the Bible, how Christian ideas shaped movements like abolition and public education, and why phrases like “Christian nationalism” often need careful definition before they can be meaningfully discussed.
