I react to a recent segment on CNN presenting Doug Wilson's brand of Christian nationalism. Wilson is the founding pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, ID. His controversial views on societal transformation are worth being familiar with as his influence in some evangelical continues to grow.
Time stamps of key moments:
0:06 Introduction and Context
2:14 Caveats on Discussing Wilson
6:36 Playback of the CNN Clip
16:04 D*mination vs. Dominion
20:08 Clarifying Wilson's Definition of Christian Nationalism
23:10 Wilson’s belief that all societies are theocratic
25:34 Peaceful Cultural Transformation vs. Sharia Law
27:39 The Limited Success of the Implementation of Wilson’s Strategy in His Own Home Town
32:05 Biblical Patriarchy Explained
49:32 Wilson’s Controversial Views on Slavery
51:13 Wilson’s Controversial Views on Outlawing Homosexuality; Theonomy
52:56 Rejecting the Comparison to the Handmaid’s Tale
57:48 Closing Reflections
