Christian nationalism — an ideology and movement advocating a fusion of Christian symbols with American civic life — has risen to prominence over the past several years, with real-world implications for politics and policy.
This conference brought together leading experts who discussed and reflected upon this ideology within American religious and political life. Experts explored the following questions: Why does it exist? What are its origins? Is it most closely related to race or religion? What implications will it have on local and national politics and policies?
This conference was the inaugural event in the Visiting Distinguished Scholars Series, funded by the Bryan J. & June B. Zwan Endowment and co-sponsored by the Boniuk Institute, the Religion and Public Policy Program at the Baker Institute, and the the Religion and Public Life Center at the Boniuk Institute.
