Christian. Nat'lism Violence

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

Much has been said about Christian Nationalism and its connection to violence in the last several years. But what is actually meant by the term “Christian Nationalist”? Are we to infer that all Christians are nationalists? Or that all nationalists are Christian? If so, why? If not, what distinguishes them? And perhaps most importantly, what is the relationship between Christian Nationalism and violence? Does the former always beget the latter? If not, what variables trigger violence when it does occur? This course explores Christianity, Nationalism and Violence as distinct topics, but also probes the intersectionality between them.
