Christian nationalism substitutes spiritual salvation through Christ for political salvation through Trump, rendering Jesus’ ultimate triumph over evil through his death and resurrection insufficient. But is there a biblical premise for this view?
‘Trump’s question, “Is she Indian or is she black?” (which he sees as somehow problematic) is built on presuppositions and categories that are officially sanctioned and widely used. Indeed, those in the US, and perhaps elsewhere, who rightly criticise him need to evaluate their own language and the validity of their own concept of race.’
Brian Edgar asks us to reconsider language of race.
