Christianity Today Book Awards ― Award of Merit for Politics and Public Life ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award A Mission-Field to Reach, Not an Enemy to Attack 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. Campbell argues that 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 found in Christ. Disarming Leviathan aims to: provide a deeper understanding of the modern American Christian Nationalist movements and their relationship to American Evangelicalism. - explore reasons why so many of our loved ones are committed to it. - equip Jesus-followers with loving, hospitable methods for engaging American Christian Nationalists. - provide graciously subversive methods for responding to American Christian Nationalist rhetoric, beliefs, and practices. Christian nationalism has become an established feature of the American political landscape. With Disarming Leviathan , you can be prepared to confront it with compassion and hospitality, and with the truth of the good news of Jesus. "I have read many books on the dangers of Christian nationalism. They have a needed confrontational prophetic voice―which I believe is necessary. But I love how Campbell approaches this subject as a pastor with the heart of an evangelist. He suggests that instead of flipping tables, we offer table fellowship, engaging people from a place of relationship. His book isn't based on theory but on heartbreaking experiences with family, friends, and the church members he pastors, where he learned how to create conversations instead of confrontations. This book will provide encouragement, wisdom, and practical suggestions for all who want to see Christian nationalists return to the ways of Jesus." Terry M. Wildman, lead translator and project manager for the First Nations Version: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament "As 'Christian nationalism' has become a buzzword in the United States, pastors and Christian leaders have responded in distinct ways: some have embraced the concept, many have tried to ignore it, and others have mocked its adherents or plotted their defeat. Caleb Campbell offers a better, more Christlike way, combining a sobering assessment of the heretical elements of American Christian nationalism with a deep love for the people who have fallen into its trappings. This gracious and well-researched book is an essential resource for pastors and others seeking to love their neighbors well." Matthew Soerens, vice president of advocacy and policy for World Relief and coauthor of Inalienable " Disarming Leviathan moves the conversation around Christian nationalism in the United States forward by providing constructive guidelines for how American Christians can faithfully respond to Christian nationalism's destructive influence. Campbell's pastoral heart permeates every word and provides a vivid example for how to stand for truth and love for the benefit of all―whether we reject Christian nationalism or not." Andrew Whitehead, author of American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church "This book is a roadmap toward the radical generosity and love that we need to repair the relational and societal damage of our age." Jon Ward, author of Testimony and Camelot's End "This is the book I've been waiting for! Around the country, Christians who lament how Christian nationalism has gripped their families and churches are asking, 'What can we do?' The answer, as Caleb Campbell reminds us, isn't war but a commitment to love, conversation, and in a word, ministry. This book not only corrects our perspective but also offers practical insights for lovingly disarming the false gospel of Christian nationalism." Samuel L. Perry, coauthor of Taking America Back for God and The Flag and The Cross "Many thought leaders today both inside and outside the church are concerned about the global rise of Christian nationalism. What I love about Caleb Campbell's approach is that he recognizes Christian nationalists as neighbors who need discipleship in the way of Jesus. Caleb has taken the time to understand the movement from the inside, and he offers practical ways to engage in substantive conversation without shutting people down. If you share our concern that Christian nationalism distortsbiblical principles, then this book will show you what to do about it. It's not enough to disagree. We need to engage."
