This volume is a classic form of a stream of charismatic Christian nationalism in the United States. It has a variety of issues, both in its line of reasoning and the values the author assumes as a "Christian" worldview. Please avoid this book.
With that said, there are points of agreement. Jacobs makes a consistent case for expanding our vision of the gospel from individual to include corporate and societal. True, the gospel has implications for every area of the lives of Christians! Additionally, Jacobs asserts that Christians should bring their values and discerned beliefs into the public square. While I don't think that conservative Christians are as stymied in the US as Jacobs would have us think, it's easy to agree that democratic societies should allow for a variety of perspectives.
The primary issue with Reformers Arise is simple: Jacobs equates her worldview with the gospel, and ultimately her program of "reformation" is imposing this worldview on democratic, pluralist societies.
This creates a variety of problems
1) An "us vs. them" dynamic that reduces opponents to less than human. Rather, they are demonic opponents siding with Satan and His agenda, rather than participants acting in good faith in the public square. This is most evident in her chapter, "Teaching Nations." After detailing her version of the shift from explicitly Christian education to a secular education standards, Jacobs advocates for Christians to pray to break the enemy's stronghold, pour through your school's library, protest any anti-Christian university courses, become schoolteachers, and have godly people win elections. This all mostly sounds reasonable, but the underlying assumptions are clear: No dialogue, compromise, or seeking common ground. Only combat and victory over the "enemy", which in reality is public educators, administrators, and public servants.
2) A simplistic approach to complex issues. Jacobs frequently reduces US political issues with decades of context to a couple one-liners. To "solve" racism, one merely needs to get all parties in the room and ask for forgiveness (a strange contradiction to her call for wholesale change and restoration in other areas). Economics must refute the scarcity of the "liberal Keynesian economists" (p.170, a very strange straw-man argument, since Kenyes is not the first to introduce the concept of scarcity). Media simply needs more "conservative newspapers" to counter anti-Christian propaganda (p.158). Notice the thin logic in both arguments- for prosperity, my side needs to lead, the other side needs to accept the solution.
3) Ultimately, a belief that only the occupation of born-again Christians with her agenda can renew society Jacobs repeatedly demurs against an authoritarian posture, even in Chapter 7 saying a representative government with checks and balances is what Christ ordains in Matthew 5 (quite the hermeneutical leap). Yet, Jacobs occasionally slips and calls for an occupation of the spheres of society (most notably on p.233, Christians must occupy local political positions). This vision is of an elite Christian class, Jacobs enumeration of the Seven Mountain Mandate, is anti-democratic.
Ultimately, it is safe to use the term Christian nationalist to describe this work, in light of the book itself and Jacobs' other advocacy. While there is always opportunity for dialogue, I would not recommend this book as a guide for Christian involvement in our community.
