Description

"A potent tool for taking action." --JEMAR TISBY

"Read this book and take its lessons to heart." --KRISTIN KOBES DU MEZ

"An indispensable tool in renewing civic engagement and democracy." --ANTHEA BUTLER

"Timely and insightful." --ROBERT P. JONES

The essential guidebook for Christians alarmed by the rising tide of Christian nationalism yet unsure how to counter it.

Christian nationalism is a powerful and pervasive ideology, and it is becoming normalized. From Amanda Tyler, lead organizer of the Christians Against Christian Nationalism campaign, comes How to End Christian Nationalism, your vital companion for countering this dangerous ideology. Tyler draws on her experiences, conversations with pastors and laypeople, research, Scripture, her Baptist convictions, and her work as a constitutional law expert to help us confront Christian nationalist fervor.

You'll learn how to distinguish Christian nationalism from the teachings of Jesus and to demonstrate how the former perpetuates white supremacy. This book also unpacks key truths we can share with others: Patriotism is not the same as nationalism. Religious freedom means little if it's not for everyone. Christians follow a gospel of love, not the idol of power.

Here, you'll find stories of what Christians are doing to resist Christian nationalism in their churches and communities, plus ideas for your own work. From strategies for faith-rooted organizing to guidance for holding hard conversations with loved ones, Tyler offers practical ways to protect faith freedom for all. With precision and compassion, Tyler offers cogent arguments for the separation of church and state, a timely call to action, and an urgent case for replacing a twisted, fearful version of faith with one that is good and right and true. We've all seen what Christian nationalism can do. Now is the time for Christians to reckon with its harm. Now is the time to end it.

Reviews

"[An] energetic debut. . . . Tyler effectively sounds the alarm on the rising threat of Christian nationalism and its harms to both the church and the country." --Publishers Weekly

"Tyler fervently advocates for dialogue in undoing the possibly destructive influence of a fundamentalist ideology. Each chapter provides a tactful approach to rolling back the harm (and potential harm) done by words and actions guided by Christian Nationalism. . . . A significant book for 2024 and beyond." --Booklist

"White Christian nationalism is the greatest threat to democracy and the witness of the church in the United States today. But we are not powerless, and How to End Christian Nationalism is a potent tool for taking action." --Jemar Tisby, New York Times bestselling author of The Color of Compromise

"Amanda Tyler gives all Americans--but especially serious Christians like herself--the means of constitutional, theological, political, and psychological self-defense against the toxic ideology of white Christian nationalism. Anyone who has wondered about the relationship between this surging fanaticism and what happened on January 6 should look no further." --Jamie Raskin, US representative for Maryland's 8th congressional district

"How to End Christian Nationalism is the perfect book for anyone confused about Christian nationalism and wondering what they can do about it. All American Christians who love their country would do well to read this book and take its lessons to heart." --Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne

"Amanda Tyler is a powerful sister who has led Christians in a movement to counter the religious nationalists who do so much evil in God's name. May this resource help others learn from her experience and wisdom." --William J. Barber II, co-chair of Poor People's Campaign and author of White Poverty and other books

"An indispensable tool in renewing civic engagement and democracy in America in these polarizing times. With the rise of theocratic and authoritarian organizations, How to End Christian Nationalism is a foundational text for anyone who cares not only about America's past but about its future." --Anthea Butler, author of White Evangelical Racism and Geraldine R. Segal Professor in American Social Thought and chair of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania

"To achieve our potential as a country, we must welcome the contributions of people of all faiths and none, and strengthen the bonds between them. To do that, we must defeat the scourge of Christian nationalism. This book will show you how." --Eboo Patel, founder and president of Interfaith America and author of We Need to Build

"With the precision of an attorney and the practicality of an organizer and advocate, Amanda Tyler helps us see what we can do to defeat the biggest threat to American democracy today: white Christian nationalism. This timely and insightful book does more than just sound the alarm; it passionately lays out a call to action." --Robert P. Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy

"Essential reading for those of us who seek to follow Jesus in the Way. Amanda Tyler is clear, focused, learned, and passionate in defining Christian nationalism as the threat it is--to democracy and to the faith of Jesus--and providing a map to end the grip it has on too much of our nation. White Christians are a key audience here, but Christians of every ethnicity can learn from this important text." --Jacqui Lewis, senior minister and public theologian at Middle Collegiate Church
