1. Unholy alliances : Christian nationalism, white supremacy, and the pursuit of power -- 2. Why are people drawn in by extremist beliefs? : conscious needs and unconscious lures -- 3. How to talk across the divide : creating human ties across (extreme) difference.
Summary:
How do we overcome polarization in American society? How do we advocate for justice when one side won't listen to the other and cycles of outrage escalate? These questions have been pressing for years, but the emergence of a vocal, virulent Christian nationalism have made it even more urgent that we find a way forward. In three brief, incisive chapters Pamela Cooper-White uncovers the troubling extent of Christian nationalism, explores its deep psychological roots, and discusses ways in which advocates for justice can safely and effectively attempt to talk across the deep divides in our society.
