What does it mean to be a Christian nationalist in today's world? Join us on "More Than Medicine" as we unpack this complex and often controversial term with our distinguished guest, Arthur Hampton. Arthur sheds light on the nuances between theonomic and non-theonomic Christian nationalism, offering a detailed explanation of theonomy and its distinction from theocracy. We also delve into how Old Testament civil laws fit into modern governance, drawing insights from influential thinkers like Stephen Wolfe and Doug Wilson. Wolfe's book "A Case for Christian Nationalism" and Wilson's "Mere Christendom" present differing visions of what a Christian nation could look like, providing a rich discussion on the topic.
Our conversation takes a historical turn as we contrast the roles of preachers in the face of societal pressures, inspired by the lives of Martin Niemöller and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. We critique Stephen Wolfe's two kingdoms theology, exploring its inconsistencies with Christian nationalism and the challenges of applying biblical laws within civil governance. Lastly, we dive into Doug Wilson's vision, emphasizing the transformative power of evangelism and the importance of public acknowledgment of Christ's lordship. This episode is packed with thought-provoking insights on balancing secularism with religious commitment and the role of Christians in shaping society.
