Christian Nationalism: A Power Grab

According to Brian Kaylor, Christian nationalists are willing to abandon long-held values and reinterpret the Bible to support Donald Trump. Kaylor, a Baptist minister and editor-in-chief of Word&Way, says:

They want power.

In his new book, The Bible According to Christian Nationalists: Exploiting Scripture for Political Power, Kaylor argues that conservative Christian nationalists are quick to change their positions when it suits their desire for power.

Kaylor notes that

The Trump era has really shown how quick conservative Christian nationalists are to just jettison what presumably had been longstanding beliefs and character matters.

Author's summary: Kaylor exposes Christian nationalism as a power grab in his new book.
