Author interview!!! Caleb Cambpell has written a book you've probably been waiting for...

It's called "Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor."

At one point in his young life, Caleb Campbell was an avowed white supremacist. Then through a series of experiences he followed Jesus and has turned his energies toward discipling his white Christian nationalist neighbors out of this harmful ideology.

In a first for Footnotes, we are jointly releasing this episode. I wanted to have Caleb on my show, and he wanted me on his, so we decided to record once and post on two different podcasts!

Enjoy this conversation, and if you like it, please leave me a review!

We often frame the white Christian nationalism as a problem exclusively of far-right, fundamentalist evangelicalism. What we talk much less about is mainline Protestants and how they have contributed to the rise of Christian nationalism from the 1940s to the present.

I talk with Rev. Dr. Brian Kaylor about the book he co-authored called, Baptizing America: How Mainline Protestants Helped Build Christian Nationalism.

Among the topics we cover are:

• Defining mainline Protestantism
• Distinguishing between civil religion and Christian Nationalism
• Why capitalize the "N" in Christian Nationalism
• How January 6, 2021 compares with January 6, 2022
• What can or should unite us as a civic body
