Faith and Flag

Description

Faith and Flag: Christian Nationalism in Context
Decisions That Try Our Faith Series — Book 3

What happens when faith is wielded as a weapon of politics rather than a witness to Christ? Faith and Flag takes on one of the most pressing and divisive issues of our time—Christian Nationalism.

In this third installment of the Decisions That Try Our Faith series, Bishop Dr. Eric L. Douglass Sr. examines the historical, theological, and cultural roots of Christian Nationalism, asking whether its ideology truly aligns with the teachings of Christ.

Inside this book, you’ll explore:

• Historical Development — from Constantine’s Christendom to American colonial ideals, tracing how religion and national identity became entwined.

• Core Beliefs and Values — what Christian Nationalists affirm, and how these shape law, culture, and governance.

• Modern Politics — case studies from the Tea Party to the MAGA movement, exposing Christian Nationalism’s role in shaping 21st-century American policy.

• Scriptural Analysis — a thorough biblical critique of the claims and rhetoric that drive Christian Nationalism.

• Societal Impact — the dangers of merging nationalism with Christianity, including its nexus with white supremacy, autocracy, and cultural exclusion.

• Future Implications — what rising generations, technology, and global diversity mean for the future of Christian witness in politics.

Rather than dismissing Christian Nationalism with shallow critique, this book provides careful theological reflection, historical depth, and pastoral concern. Dr. Douglass calls believers back to a Kingdom-centered faith that honors Christ above every flag, ideology, or partisan agenda.

For pastors, students, and anyone concerned about the future of the Church in America, Faith and Flag is both a warning and an invitation—to stand firm in biblical truth, discern deception, and remember that God’s Kingdom transcends every earthly nation.
