Andrew Fraser Christian Nationalism vs Global Jesus

Christian Nationalism vs Global Jesus sheds much-needed light on contemporary controversies surrounding the seemingly oxymoronic phenomenon of "Christian nationalism," past, present, and future, as problem and as solution. Part One explores the ostensibly biblical foundations of Christian nationalism, the first-century Jesus movement, and the early Christian church in Greco-Roman antiquity. Part Two examines the extent to which the rise and fall of early medieval Anglo-Saxon Christendom was influenced by the "project of peoplehood" reflected in the Hebrew Bible. In Part Three, the focus shifts to a modern history culminating in the post-Christian collapse of British patriotism. Does the contemporary crisis of Anglo-Protestant political theology stem from a failure to recognize in the historical Jesus the mythic model for the miraculous appearance of a Patriot King? The religious, political, and civil institutions of the Anglosphere now oversee the deliberate degeneration of historic Anglo cultures into mere economic zones, populated by rootless, shifting masses of morally debased monads. Could a Patriot King spark the reformation of the existing order of things?
