RELG 027. Christian Nationalism

This course provides a critical examination of Christian Nationalism-its historical roots, rhetorical and religious worldviews, and contemporary political manifestations in the United States and beyond. We explore the interconnectedness of religious and political identities and how constructions of race and ethnicity play central roles in Christian nationalisms, paying particular attention to racism and antisemitism. By synthesizing historical context, investigative reporting, theological critique, and political theory, students will gain a multifaceted framework for understanding the driving forces behind the varieties of Christian Nationalism today.
