How did a small group of religious people become the most powerful political force in the U.S.? Why are Christians leaving this group, and why are more evangelicals speaking out about sexual abuse? What is White Christian Nationalism, and how does Donald Trump fit into this?
The Kingdom of Man
by Eric Scot English explores these questions, taking readers through the history of Evangelicalism to reveal the cultural moments and theological shifts that have shaped its current state.
The book argues that in trying to create an American faith, Evangelical leaders have pursued power and prestige, mirroring the same pitfalls of their religious ancestors. Their ambition has built a kingdom not founded on God's will, but on human pride-one that exploits the marginalized instead of serving them. It's not the Kingdom of God, but the Kingdom of Man.
