Review of Andrew L. Whitehead\u27s book American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church
Get PDFThe 2023 General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), held in Louisville, Kentucky, received and affirmed sense-of-the-assembly resolution GA-2341 condemning Christian Nationalism. With this resolution, those gathered at the General Assembly resolved “that the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denounces Christian Nationalism in all its forms as a distortion of the Christian faith, and commits to opposing it wherever it appears, for the sake of the gospel and the good of the human family.” In addition to the resolution, the 2023 Peter Ainslie and Forrest F. Reed Lecture, held as part of the Christian Unity and Interfaith Ministries/Disciples of Christ Historical Society Dinner, featured Andrew L. Whitehead, the author of American Idolatry. Whitehead’s lecture underscored the message given in the assembly resolution, reminding us that Christian nationalism is a threat not only to democracy but more importantly for the church, it is a betrayal of the Gospel

John C. Nugent, Professor of Bible and Theology at GLCC and author of numerous publications centering on theology and the Old Testament, collected the varied essays for publication, offered an essay of his own, and edited the volume
Review of Leonard Allen\u27s book In the Great Stream: Imagining Churches of Christ in the Christian Tradition
Get PDFLeonard Allen, Dean of Lipscomb University’s College of Bible and Ministry, has been helping Churches of Christ engage their history and theology for four decades. This book constitutes Allen’s boldest attempt to reveal the pitfalls of the anti-tradition posture of many Churches of Christ and, conversely, the riches of embracing the Great Tradition as an ally in the challenging twenty-first century context. Allen urges Churches of Christ to rediscover and reclaim early Christian Tradition, following the examples of Robert Webber, J. I. Packer, D. H. Williams, and others. Allen lays out a clear proposal for communal formation that deliberately utilizes the best of Churches of Christ tradition and classical Christian orthodoxy (defined by and rooted in the rule of faith, Apostles Creed, and Nicene Creed), arguing that such rediscovery and rootedness is essential for any group who wishes to survive and thrive amid current challenges
