As far-right authoritarianism resurges under the banner of preserving Western civilization, Mac Loftin reveals how white Christian nationalism's political will is shaped by a theology of power within Christianity itself.

Countering this malignant theology, Loftin draws on the vision of antifascist thinkers, mystics, and theologians including Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Simone Weil, and Michel de Certeau. He reveals how these revolutionaries forged potent theological resistance in their own fraught political moments by recovering a radically different Christian tradition: one that embraces impermanence, reconciliation, difference, and the liberative work of mourning.
