by Unknown's avatar

I have been sitting on this essay for a couple of years. It is an essay that Emma Williams and I co-wrote in my Lillian E. Smith and Christian Nationalism course two years ago. During that class, we wrote “Christian Nationalism Hurts the Children It Clams to Protect” in Religion Dispatches, and this essay arose, partly, out of that article.

America’s Providential History: Dominionsim, Totalitarianism, and Fascism

by Unknown's avatar

“Throughout this book,” the authors of America’s Providential History write, “we have seen that we must take action to assure that America is re-established on a firm Christian base, and hence, secure our God-given liberties and provide a free and prosperous platform from which we can go and make disciples of all the nations.” America’s Providential History is a Christian textbook used in homeschooling … Read More America’s Providential History: Dominionsim, Totalitarianism, and Fascism
