Description
Since when does praying to Jesus, loving America, and saluting the flag make you an extremist? In this deeply-researched walkthrough of political theology and history, Daniel Darling defies the statue-toppling spirit of our age to recover a lost tradition of patriotism. He lays out why Chris tians should revere flags and civic he roes, and what it really looks like to bring Jesus into politics (it’s not theocracy). You may be called a fascist. That’s OK. When insanity is normal, the normal are deemed insane. The left claims Christian political engagement will produce a “real-life Handmaid’s Tale,” “the Afghan Taliban,” and a “Christo-fascist future.” In fact, the opposite is true. The Salvation Army and the Southern Baptist Convention run the second- and third-biggest disaster relief organizations in the country. American substance abuse treatment pro grams—73% of them—include spiritual elements. Evangelicals are five times more likely to adopt than the average adult. And this is a tradition to be proud of. So why aren’t Americans proud? Here is a joyful response to the cynics: stop lecturing the faithful. In stead, equip them. The book is a guide that arms ordinary Christian patriots to fight back against the left’s false narratives with an upbeat, robust defense of how Christians make America better. Hardback, 288 pages.
