God and Country Upholding Faith, History, and National Identity

Is nationalism always a threat to Christian faith? In God and Country: Upholding Faith, History, and National Identity, John D. Wilsey argues that nationalism is a complex phenomenon with varied expressions, some dangerously opposed to Christianity, others potentially compatible with a biblical worldview. Wilsey demonstrates how nationalism can become a surrogate religion, even cloaking itself in Christian language, and illustrates that this danger isn't confined to one side of the political spectrum.  

Examining the unique conditions that have fostered different forms of religiously-infused nationalism in America, this book surveys the origins and pitfalls of nationalism, offering a biblically grounded framework for thinking about God and country. Wilsey provides a crucial perspective for Christians seeking to navigate the treacherous waters of contemporary public discourse and love their nation without falling prey to its most dangerous excesses.
