The Full Armor of God : The Mobilization of Christian Nationalism in American Politics Paperback / softback
by Paul A. (Denison University, Ohio) Djupe, Andrew R. (University of Cincinnati) Lewis, Anand E. (University of Colorado Boulder) Sokhey
Part of the Elements in American Politics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Academic research on Christian nationalism has revealed a considerable amount about the scope of its relationships to public policy views in the US.
However, work thus far has not addressed an essential question: why now?
Research by the authors of this Element advances answers, showcasing how deeper engagement with 'the 3Ms' – measurement, mechanisms and mobilization – can help unpack how and why Christian nationalism has entered our politics as a partisan project.
Indeed, it is difficult to understand the dynamics of Christian nationalism without reference to the parties, as it has been a worldview used to mobilize Republicans while simultaneously recruiting and demobilizing Democrats.
The mechanisms of these efforts hinge on a deep desire for social dominance that is ordained by God – an order elites suggest is threatened by Democrats and 'the left.' These elite appeals can have sweeping consequences for opinion and action, including the public's support for democratic processes.
