Christian nationalism is all over the news as public figures daily endorse or denounce it. But what exactly is Christian nationalism? How does it differ from patriotism? And what happens when we misunderstand the relationship between Christianity and the American nation?

In his book The Religion of American Greatness, political theorist Paul D. Miller explores these questions. He will help us to understand, amid many forcefully asserted visions, the lines that separate faithful and idolatrous ways to engage in political life. The dialogue launched our series of four Online Conversations on Faith, Freedom, and Flourishing, in partnership with the Pepperdine School of Public Policy.

We held an Online Conversation with Paul D. Miller on August 9. As part of our Navigating 2024 Faithfully effort, he helped us explore the relationship between Christianity and nation and to ask: What's wrong with Christian nationalism?
