Understanding Christian Nationalism
Pastor Caleb Campbell has watched Christian nationalism divide his community. Standing against it, he’s suffered the fall out from those who support Christian nationalist ideas.
His observations translate into a book of perspective titled, Disarming Leviathan Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor.
Campbell argues that while it's possible to be both a Christian and hold Christian nationalist ideas, the belief 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.
Caleb Campbell is a seasoned pastor, writer, and ministry strategist who has spent the past two decades serving within the American evangelical church. As a leading voice on the intersection of faith and culture, he actively helps the church confront and constructively respond to the rise of Christian nationalism and political extremism. Since 2006, Caleb has served at Desert Springs Bible Church in Phoenix, Arizona, stepping into the role of Lead Pastor in 2015 to guide the congregation through seasons of renewal, spiritual formation,
and courageous cultural engagement. He also serves on the board of United Pastors of Arizona
