- Title
The Flag and the Cross: White Christian Nationalism and the Threat to American Democracy by Philip S. Gorski and Samuel L. Perry (review).
- Authors
Krueger, David M.
- Abstract
In their book, Gorski and Perry argue that Christian nationalism was largely invisible both to conservative Christians because it was simply "in the air they breathe" and to secular progressives because they viewed the beliefs to be fringe. Gorski and Perry's book has synthesized this material in a compelling and succinct manner, while also illuminating the grave threats that Christian nationalism poses to a religiously and racially diverse democracy. Gorski and Perry craft a historical narrative to demonstrate that white Christian nationalism is not new but is "one of the oldest and most powerful currents in American politics.".
