Sunday Speaker: Katherine Stewart – Rise of Christian Nationalism

The Power Worshippers Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism A revelatory investigation of the Religious Right’s rise to political power.

 

The Power Worshippers is a brilliantly reported book of warning and a wake-up call. Stewart’s probing examination demands that Christian nationalism be taken seriously as a significant threat to the American republic and our democratic freedoms.

“Stewart has produced both a warning about the influence of religious nationalists and, in a brisk epilogue, the beginnings of a handbook about combating religious nationalists. The tools of the counter-revolution she hopes will stanch the religious nationalist drive to power are [an end to] gerrymandering, fresh initiatives to enforce voter rights, and vigilance against abuses at the ballot box. . . . This is a book that is both an examination of a new social and cultural phenomenon-and a call for action.” - THE BOSTON GLOBE

Katherine Stewart has been reporting at the intersection of religion, politics, policy, and education for over a decade.
