Power. Fear. Violence. These three idols of Christian nationalism are corrupting American Christianity.

Andrew Whitehead is a leading scholar on Christian nationalism in America and speaks widely on its effects within Christian communities. In this book, he shares his journey and reveals how Christian nationalism threatens the spiritual lives of American Christians and the church.

Now available in paperback, American Idolatry explores

- the harm we cause our neighbors when we embrace the idols of power, fear, and violence;
- two key examples--racism and xenophobia--that demonstrate how these idols violate core Christian beliefs;
- the work we can do to disentangle Christianity from Christian nationalism; and
- Christian practices and postures that confront Christian nationalism and offer a faithful path forward.

"Heartfelt, incisive, and worthy of thoughtful consideration."--Library Journal
