American democracy is in danger. How do we protect it from authoritarian reactionary Christianity?On January 6, 2021, hundreds of Americans stormed the Capitol to prevent the certification of their political opponents election. At the forefront were Christians claiming to act in the name of Jesus Christ and his supposed representative on earth, Donald Trump. How can this have happened?David P. Gushee tackles the question in this timely work of Christian political ethics. Gushee calls us to preserve democratic norms, including constitutional government, the rule of law, and equal rights for all, even as many Christians take a reactionary and antidemocratic stance. Surveying global politics and modern history, he analyzes how Christians have discarded their commitment to democracy and bought into authoritarianism. He urges us to fight back by reviving our hardwon traditions of congregational democracy, dissident Black Christian politics, and covenantal theology.Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies makes a robust case for a renewed commitment to democracy on the part of Christiansnot by succumbing to secular liberalism, but by drawing on our own best traditions. Any concerned Christian will leave its pages with eyes wide open to the dangers of our current form of political engagement. Readers will gain insight into what democracy is truly meant to be and why Christians once supported it wholeheartedlyand should do so again.
