Various Christian Nationalisms and Imperialisms have always been part of American Religious Culture

Monday Mar 08, 2021

Since the attack on the Capitol on January 6 various moderate to progressive evangelical think pieces and mouth pieces have made a lot of noise decrying the rise of "Christian Nationalism". This is sort of like decrying the rise of fish eating by Alaskan bear. Various and diverse forms of "Christian Nationalism" or even Imperialisms have been a near constant element of American religious culture. The existence of this is not a novelty. What IS a novelty is the surprise at which it is viewed by moderate to progressive evangelicals and especially the implicit variety of Christian nationalism and even imperialism by the Christian and post-Christian left. This movement is deeply imperial but many of those who promote it most strongly are blind to its imperial qualities.

I'm going to list a series of books that illustrate the various nationalisms through American history, many written by George Marsden

Eating with Sinners

Saturday Mar 06, 2021

Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem. A crowd is following him because they want to see what the confrontation between Jesus and the authorities in Jerusalem will provide. Along the way he eats various times with Pharisees and Teachers of the law. The conversations are testy. They complain because Jesus also eats with tax collectors and sinners. Jesus explains why.

Why do Nobodies Arguing Nothings Matter to Us?

Friday Mar 05, 2021

Yesterday I posted the video on CS Lewis' introduction to the Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth. I wanted to continue with a few reflections on the strangeness of our reality.

CS Lewis wrote this introduction to D.E. Harding's "The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth" first published in 1952. https://amzn.to/3sOvuuP

Chris, Blue Collar to Academia to Tech, Christianity and Transformation

Thursday Mar 04, 2021

Chris comes in for a randos chat and shares his story. You can find him at the Bridges of Meaning Discord server and he has his own Youtube Channel too with music. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCebR16tXbv5Ykk9_WtCCug

Notes:
Born in 1984, father is a mason, mother in the medical field

Moved around a lot, hard to make friends. Skinny, shy introverted, bullied

Developed quite an anger problem.

Luis Palau crusade, altar call, inability to NOT go forward, tremendous weight lifted

Most of childhood had a fear of going to sleep at night, night terrors

Inception night terrors, Used to have esoteric thoughts, what if I wake up and discover I've just been dreaming

After his salvation experience he loved going to sleep at night

The anger problem significantly dissipated

Had no plans of going to college, Terrible in school. Picked up playing guitar at 14 maybe. Dad in a southern rock tribute band

Girl's parents were the youth group leaders

Upstate NY

Criminology: Why people commit crime

JBP Biblical Series

Sarah

Youth Advocate Program YAP

Devereaux: youth with developmental disabilities

Youth detention facility: pay better, corruption better

You want to become that kind of person who can speak at a tragic funeral

the strong person at the funeral

Almost always experienced my life in the third person

My mom prayed for me my whole life

Superficial differences are causing intense, real, physical damage

The deeper I go, the less satisfying it is. The further I go, the colder and colder it gets

The world doesn't need you setting them right. The world needs to get reconciled with Jesus

Needs to accept the reconciliation offered to them.

Jesus Refuses to Wield the Mob against the Evil Oppressors

Saturday Feb 27, 2021

Jesus is making is way to Jerusalem and pressure continues to build. Jesus has displayed miraculous power which leads people to anticipate divine intervention on Israel's behalf against Roman oppression. As he makes his way to Jerusalem the mob grows and anticipates Jesus taking leadership and leading them against the Empire and Herod's puppet regime. At the last minute men burst in with breaking news that Pilate has shed the blood of their countrymen while they were in the act of sacrificing to their God. NOW is the time for Jesus to embrace the cause, turn the multitude into an army and right the wrongs.
