“…According to the authors' characterization, the following are conservatives: Andre Siegfried (1939), who defended the French Democratic Tradition by arguing that "for a hundred and fifty years the Revolution has served a basic line of demarcation in the domestic politics of France," and that its principles had to be "defended from a new enemy [i.e., Fascism] along a new battle front"; members of the Chinese Communist Party who in the name of the Communist tradition and stability opposed market reforms as dangerous innovations (Deng 2012); those who criticized the use of "enhanced interrogation" (referred to by critics as torture) during the Bush administration's "War on Terror" as based upon a "truly innovative and quite radical view" (Lederman 2007) that "undermin[ed] the moral values and legal traditions on which America was founded" (McTigue & Merman 2006); and the following are liberals: defenders of Vichy France; Chinese communists who advocated market reforms (but not basic rights); advocates of the use of enhanced interrogation.…”

From a Christian World Community to a Christian America: Ecumenical Protestant Internationalism as a Source of Christian Nationalist Renewal

Christian nationalism in the United States has neither been singular nor stable. The country has seen several Christian nationalist ventures come and go throughout its history. Historians are currently busy documenting the plurality of Christian nationalisms, understanding them more as deliberate projects rather than as components of a suprahistorical secularization process. This essay joins in that work. Its focus is the World War II and early Cold War era, one of the heydays of Christian nationalist enthusiasm in America—and the one that shaped our ongoing culture wars between “evangelical” conservatives and “godless” liberals. One forgotten and admittedly paradoxical pathway to wartime Christian nationalism was the world ecumenical movement (“ecumenical” here meaning intra-Protestant). Protestant ecumenism curated the transformation of 1920s and 1930s Christian internationalism into wartime Christian Americanism. They involved many political and intellectual elites along the way. In pioneering many of the geopolitical concerns of Cold War evangelicals, ecumenical Protestants aided and abetted the Christian conservative ascendancy that wields power even into the present.
