God's Movement in the Twenty-First Century
The book explores the intersection of faith and politics in contemporary America, examining how conservative Christianity has become a driving force behind social and cultural change. It critiques the ways in which Christian nationalism has been used to justify authoritarianism and undermine democratic institutions. The author argues that this movement poses a threat to American democracy and the values of equality and justice.
