1/ Further thoughts on @DavidAFrench's important essay on #ChristianNationalism.
It's great to see a leading evangelical thinker publicly engaging the topic.
But....
2/ It would be even better if @DavidAFrench would engage with work on #ChristianNationalism by scholars and journalists like:
@ndrewwhitehead @socofthesacred @praxishabitus @sarahposner @kathsstewart @AntheaButler @Nicholef and yours truly @GorskiPhilip
Also...
3/ With the work of black theologians such as:
Willie Jennings, @JemarTisby @stewartdantec @esaumccaulley to name just a few.
If he did, then....
4/ He'd know that there are much better and more nuanced definitions of #ChristianNationalism than the one offered by @ThomasSKidd, who is a smart guy, but not a scholar of the subject.
Plus...
5/ He'd know that the phenomenon is, in fact, much more widespread than he implies, not just amongst white evangelicals but also amongst non-evangelical white Protestants and white Catholics....See "Taking America Back for God" for the receipts.
So, why do I keep saying "white"?
