In this clip from Ask N.T. Wright Anything, Michael Bird and Tom Wright discuss the rise of Christian nationalism, the influence of MAGA ideology within white evangelicalism, and why many believers are struggling to reconcile faith with political movements centered on power, nationalism, and culture wars.
Tom Wright explores:
The difference between historic evangelicalism and modern political evangelicalism
How nationalism can become a form of idolatry
Why the New Testament challenges ethnic and political superiority
The dangers of end-times speculation tied to modern geopolitics
Christian nationalism, power, and the teachings of Jesus
Why allegiance to Jesus transcends national identity
The discussion also touches on:
Dispensationalism and modern Israel
American cultural myths and “strongman” leadership
Galatians 3 and the unity of believers in Christ
The Sermon on the Mount and servant leadership
This clip is taken from a full episode of Ask N.T. Wright Anything, where Tom Wright answers listener questions about Jesus, the Bible, theology, culture, and the Christian life.
