About

About this project

The folks who bring you this website are a collection of Christ-loving and Christ-following people with deep and long backgrounds in the church and in Christian ministry. They are also a bit fond of their country, too — although not nearly to the same level as their feelings about Jesus. They have teamed up to offer the fruit of their research, writing, and teaching about Christian Nationalism.

The development of this website was funded by the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, with generous support provided by Lilly Endowment Inc.
