In Defense of Christian Patriotism

“Daniel Darling’s ringing defense of Christian patriotism recognizes that we are at a ‘critical juncture’ in our American history. His diagnosis of the self-flagellation widespread and growing within some precincts of the church, and generally on the Left, is compelling–as is his prescription: classical Christian patriotism. This book could not be more timely or persuasive. Read it and give it to your family and friends.” - Hugh Hewitt“A road map for those wanting a route out of the sound and fury of America’s culture wars.” - Thomas S. Kidd“Daniel Darling’s In Defense of Christian Patriotism will provide readers with valuable understanding of a timely and important issue.” - Richard Land“In this well-crafted book, Daniel Darling [gives] excellent biblical and theological reasons to be patriotic and politically active.” - Mark David Hall“Forty years ago, Richard John Neuhaus warned of the implications for America if men and women of faith retreated from the important public and cultural debates of our era. Darling picks up the Neuhaus mantle and offers refreshing insights as he deftly looks around the corners of twenty-first-century American public life.” - Tim Goeglein“With characteristic clarity, erudition, persuasiveness, and warmth, Daniel Darling has provided us with a vision for rightly ordered patriotism. This book stands in the great tradition of both Christian and American civilization.” - John D. Wilse
