255. Mere Christendom or More? Examining Doug Wilson's Take on Christian Nationalism

In this second installment of our series on Christian nationalism, host Jared Luttjeboer sits down with Dr. Alan Strange, Interim President of Mid-America Reformed Seminary and Professor of Church History, to examine Doug Wilson's distinctive approach to Christian nationalism.

Dr. Strange unpacks Wilson's "theocratic libertarian" vision as presented in his book Mere Christendom, contrasting it with Stephen Wolfe's natural law perspective. The conversation explores how Wilson's theonomic framework leads him to assert that "theocracy is inevitable" while advocating for the elimination of government agencies and the enforcement of biblical law in civil society.

The discussion also looks into the controversial Antioch Declaration, Wilson's public stance against anti-Semitic and fascist elements within the broader Christian nationalist movement, and the resulting tensions with younger figures in the movement.
