Synopsis

Pastor Caleb Campbell has watched as Christian nationalism has taken over large swaths of the United States. And he's suffered the relational fallout of standing against it, both in his community and his church. While it's possible to be both a Christian and hold Christian nationalist ideas, Christian nationalism itself is an un-Christian worldview, rooted in ideas about power, race, and property that are irreconcilable with Christian faith. Campbell has come to see himself as a missionary to Christian nationalists, reaching out to them with the love and freedom of Jesus Christ.

In Disarming Leviathan, Campbell equips Christians to minister to their Christian nationalist neighbors. He introduces the basics of Christian nationalism and explores the reasons so many people are attracted to it. He also addresses a variety of American Christian nationalist talking points and offers questions and responses that humbly subvert these claims and cultivate deeper, heart-level conversations.

Christian nationalism is an established feature of the American landscape. Disarming Leviathan can help prepare us to confront it with compassion and hospitality, and with the truth of the good news of Jesus.

I hate Christian Nationalism. I think it’s a malignancy which distorts the goodness of the gospel and the beauty of the church. I hate how it and its leaders demonize people/people groups who disagree with them. But don’t I do that too? Don’t I take Christian Nationalists—leaders and followers—and de......more

Goodreads review by Peacegal on September 04, 2024

This is an important and needed book, that challenges the increasingly visible Christian Nationalist viewpoint from an author who shares the religion but is increasingly dismayed by a decent segment of its adherents. Campbell walks the walk and talks the talk as a religious believer, and is thus uni......more

Goodreads review by Esther on July 14, 2024

This book is about how to be a missionary to American Christian nationalists. It is not about how to debate with them, but how to reach them with the gospel and lovingly lead them into repentance. Wow. This book challenged me. Warning: A lot of this book resurfaced a lot of my past trauma, especiall......more
