The Bible According to Christian Nationalists

Brian Kaylor examines the ways political movements labeled as Christian nationalism selectively read and deploy biblical texts to justify power and policy.

He traces theological arguments used to support political agendas and explains how those readings differ from broader scriptural contexts.

The book offers historical and contemporary examples of scripture being co-opted for political ends and critiques the consequences for democracy and religious life.

Kaylor also proposes interpretive practices and pastoral approaches to help Christians read the Bible more faithfully and resist politicized distortions.

The work serves as both reportage and pastoral guidance for readers concerned about the intersection of faith and authoritarian politics.
