“Christian Nationalism” seems ever-present in the news these days, but what is it and where did it come from? We explored this in our recent adult education series. If you missed it, videos are now available.

Classes explore the term itself, the connections between political conflict and theology that lends itself to violence, and a particular view of providential American history. We followed  Understanding Christian Nationalism, a three-part curriculum and discussion guide written by Diana Butler Bass.

Each week we discussed one of the essays (click on the links below).

• May 7: Christian Nationalism Everywhere?
• May 14: Bad Blood
• May 21: Bad History

This set of classes concluded our series on The Radical Christian Alternative.
