- Join us for an enlightening episode as we sit down with Dr. Stephen Wolfe, author of the thought-provoking book, "The Case for Christian Nationalism." Hosted by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI), this episode delves into the controversial yet compelling arguments presented in Wolfe's book.
Dr. Wolfe discusses the concept of Christian nationalism, exploring how it aligns with traditional Christian political thought and the American founding principles. He explains his vision of a homogenous society that orders earthly life towards heavenly ideals, a notion grounded in theological anthropology. Wolfe also addresses the criticisms and challenges his ideas have faced, providing a robust defense of his viewpoints.
Listeners will gain insight into the historical and philosophical underpinnings of Christian nationalism, as well as its implications for modern governance and society. Whether you agree or disagree, this episode promises a rich, intellectual discourse on a topic that is shaping contemporary political debates.
Tune in to explore the intersections of faith, politics, and society with one of today's most provocative conservative thinkers.

Your attempt to put a kinder gentler face on your bigotry fails spectacularly.
Yes, bigotry, just like BLM, antifa, Islam, CCP, and so on, because all of those wish for the best for all people.
Very good discussion. Thank you!
CN is not forcing your beliefs on others? Enacting laws based on those beliefs is doing exactly that.
What a joke. Look, you vote what you believe, no matter what that is. If you believe in yourself as your god, then a woman (since I'm a woman), for example, you will be pro-abortion, because you only care about yourself and your feelings and your desires. You don't think that putting into place laws based on that kind of anthropocentrism is you putting your beliefs into laws and forcing that onto people who don't agree with you? You don't think you do the same thing?
All law forces beliefs
1:08:29 but what if Sunday is not the sabbath, and some Christians don’t want a Sunday to be understood as a sabbath?
Also, would like your views on apartheid South Africa functioning in a comparable way?
Sunday, in Christian theology, is considered the 8th day, the day of the Resurrection, the eternal Pascha. Christ, the spiritual sun, the Son of God, is the Alpha and the Omega, which is also why Sunday is both the 8th day and the 1st day of the week. Saturday is the sabbath, but we're not Jews, so we don't have our primary weekly holy day on Saturday. Christ lifts us beyond this world into heaven, which is why we have Sunday as the day we celebrate his Resurrection. The Jews, in that they don't believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, nor His resurrection, are stuck in this world, waiting, waiting. So they maintain Saturday as the sabbath. I'm coming from the perspective of Orthodoxy, which is the origin of all Christianity.
@@cellospot- the Jews believe the "righteous of all nations have a share in the world to come". They also believe messianic times will be a departure from the worlds present reality of bloody power struggles and suffering. The Christian picture of Jesus as God and Messiah' didn't change that reality. So while Alpha and Omega is nice language the whole world is still "waiting".
ISS giving a voice for xenophobia and racism?
I only made it to 16:28. The good doctor just finished describing the main justifications Al-Qaeda uses as an answer to the question, what is CN?
The irony is so blatant that it must take considerable effort to ignore.
Christianity and Islam are radically different. May want to do your research on that.
Policing atheism. Well, there it is.
Im an Orthodox Jew. I may or may not agree with all of this gentleman's positions, but he's certainly not, imho, a bigot, as some commenters seem to believe.
Trans people are not evil, Dr. Wolfe.
YOU ARE.
No, you're right, trans people aren't evil, but the ideology of transgenderism is. It's incredibly destructive. And I can say this with a full voice because I'm a detransitioner. However, people can become evil, as demons, when they align themselves so deeply with evil ideas. Look through history and you'll find plenty of people who were so possessed by an evil spirit, so to say, that they were consumed to commit truly heinous acts against others -- ever read Gulag Archipelago, for a relatively contemporary example?
Are those who want to allow public schools to not tell parents if their child has adopted another gender identity evil?
Typically, you conflate "logic" and "reason" with religion.
That only works on the gullible. You do have a majority of the gullible in the US. But, that majority is shrinking.
Is it shrinking though? Don’t lesser-thinking people generally have more children? Especially lesser-thinking people who believe they’ve been given a divine command to reproduce? While more thoughtful people are less likely to reproduce, given the apparent circumstance of life?
We need a Christian Prince to lead and inspire. Like...Trump?
SMFH...
This is fascism, not democracy. Look it up.
There is no case for CN. NONE.
You know, as the country continues to descend into secularism and it gets crazier and crazier, more people will start waking up and realizing that atheism and secularism has let them down. It may not be a huge group of people, but there will be a surge in Christianity. And, people vote what they believe in. That's democracy at work, baby!
Cringe
Unfortunately, you have a clear conflict of interest here. As you would enjoy a comfortable status in such a nation.
Plus, you’re literally capitalizing off it. (Unless you’re donating all your earnings, which is beyond my knowledge, but the first point stands either way I believe)
Granted, that doesn’t mean that all or any of the ideas you present are necessarily without merit. But I’m sure you’d agree taking the salesman’s word for it without doing one’s own research, checking out the competition, looking at testimonies, would be unwise when buying a car, even more so when building a nation.
You will fail. This is the death gasp of the old ways.
He said nothing!
Religion is a personal choice, it's like a hobby, if you like it, go ahead partake in it as much as you want. Aside from the Bible, a very old book with major problems, there's no evidence that a God exist up in the sky, there's also very little evidence for Jesus himself so, for religious people to want to impose their book of fairytales as the law of the land is very rich. According to the Bible, Jesus taught his disciples to spread his teachings, he never said for anyone to be coerced or forced to believe...that's why CN is wrong, CN is the same as sharia law in Islam.
