Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism by Michelle Goldberg

4.0

This is an interesting book and despite being published 15 years ago it is still relevant today, maybe even more so after Donald Trump's tumultuous presidency. Goldberg details the minority of right-wing Christian nationalists and their continued attempts at breaking-down America's fundamental institutions as evidenced by Bush's presidency and his funding of right-wing Christian nationalists groups and programs and the appointment of individuals into the courts who share Christian nationalists values. In her conclusion Goldberg offers some solutions to what she considers a rising problem and although I agree with several of her points and thought the book was eye-opening the conclusion also reveals a weakness of the book. That is, Goldberg claims she is "scared" by the rise of Christian nationalists and their assault on the middle and left wing's rights and freedoms. I feel that her fear may seep into some of her writing and give it a biased perspective. Nonetheless, an excellent read.
