In Defense of Christian Nations: The Bible, Natural Affections, and God's Plan to Use Nations for Good

by Michael Belch

God created nations for earthly and eternal purposes. He defines what a nation is and expects each nation to obey him and to serve Christ. This book argues that not only America, must submit to the triune God. The argument starts by carefully defining important terms such as 'people', 'tribe', and 'nation'. It then shows that God has created each nation with covenant obligations to himself. Because of this, each nation must embrace its duties and purpose that God gives to it. God designed nations as the best venue to accomplish spiritual and earthly good. This is why Jesus commanded the church to disciple all nations into the name of Christ. More is at stake than simple politics here, as the book also argues that nations continue into eternity so that they may continue to worship and serve God. Based on this, it is obvious that Christian Nationalism is the inevitable conclusion that Christians must embrace. The book closes by answering some key objections and by warning about modern threats to God's created national order.
