People tend to talk about Christian Nationalism in the abstract, but a new book, Donald Trump’s Army of God: Christian Nationalism in the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition, provides an analysis of Christian Nationalism that is based upon what Christian Nationalists actually say and do.

Forget theory and theology. This case study is based solely on information about the 317 members of the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition.

You wouldn’t expect Iowa to be the source of stories about Nazi propaganda, murder-suicide, terrorism, money laundering and business fraud, monsters and magic spells, faith healing and guns, ancient prophecies of eternal torture, and a growing Christian Nationalist hunger for global genocidal war. Defying expectations, that is just what the authors found.

The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is an extremist political organization that violates the law
