The kerfuffle surrounding the book seems to occur when a reader disagrees with the conclusion—that Christian nationalism is a viable political option—but won’t or can’t engage with the premises that get us there. Those weak firecracker criticisms generate more heat than light.
I’m waiting for someone to engage with the widely accepted Christian and conservative premises and provide a compelling counterargument. Until then, Wolfe has done a compelling job stating the case for Christian parents working to make sure their kids grow up in a country that’s MORE Christian than the one they grew up in.
His premises are straightforward—and so is the historical and theological support he brings for each one. (That’s the reason this book needs to be 400+ pages. It’s a CASE, not a tweetstorm.)
Here’s a 30,000 foot summary of those tricky premises no one wants to engage with:
1. Societal organization existed before the Fall, so it’s natural and good.
2. The basis of society is that every person loves the people close to them, and that’s natural and good, too.
3. Therefore, a society composed of people working for each other’s earthly and heavenly good is also natural and good.
That’s it. That’s Christian nationalism.
All orthodox Christians can agree with those premises, and it doesn’t entail racism, hatred, or jumping barriers at the Capitol.
Of course there’s much more to this book, and Wolfe deals with lots more practical questions, including: Can cultural Christianity be a force for good? What can laws do, and what can’t laws do? What would a leader in such a society look like? How does liberty of conscience function in such a society? Is rebellion allowable? Did the founding fathers think about America in this way?
And what’s also fun about this book is that Wolfe states an optimistic future, rejecting things that are tearing our nation apart and laying the groundwork for important conversations in the future. Here’s to decades more discussions inspired by “The Case for Christian Nationalism”!

Popular Highlights in this book
Christian nationalism is a totality of national action, consisting of civil laws and social customs, conducted by a Christian nation as a Christian nation, in order to procure for itself both earthly and heavenly good in Christ.Highlighted by 736 Kindle readers- Christians today live in and fully embrace the conditions of deicide. We have not simply tied our own hands; we’ve handed over, without much fuss, the divine powers ordained for our good. The people of God have become accustomed to a life without them, even learning to love abuse from God-granted authorities that he ordained for their good.Highlighted by 276 Kindle readers
- Viewed as a whole, the Christian nation acts for itself by a three-step process: (1) It achieves a national will for itself; (2) that will is mediated through authorities that the people institute; and (3) the people act according to the dictates of that mediation.Highlighted by 268 Kindle readers
