What do Restore Britain really stand for and why are Christian Nationalists supporting them?
I’ve seen a few comments from Christians, particularly those identifying as Christian Nationalists promoting Restore Britian as the political party to get behind. This, by Aaron Edwards, is a more extensive treatment of the subject than the usual social media comments. The basis for this is that Lowe has talked about a return to Christian… Continue reading What do Restore Britain really stand for and why are Christian Nationalists supporting them?
Restore Britain on religious freedom
Rupert Lowe posted the following on Facebook. I would like to make the following brief observations. 1. The reasons are to do with cultural nationalism not safety. The issue is whether or not they are “British”. 2. That included in their list is “kosher” food. At least there is consistency here.

Ethno-cultural nationalism
I’ve seen it suggested that the kind of nationalism we are seeing promoted whether by agitators like Tommy Robinson or Christian Nationalists is not of the narrow, hostile ethno-nationalism kind that we associate with the Far Right and racism. The implication is that this civic or cultural nationalism is of a more benign kind. My… Continue reading Ethno-cultural nationalism
How should we respond to those shouting for an uprising?
Recently the Unite the Kingdom movement led by Tommy Robinson had another rally in central London.

The other is to mark the so called “Nakba” day which coincides with Israel’s independence. Nakba Day In Arabic “Nakba” refers to a catastrophe. In this case,… Continue reading How should we respond to the marches?
Douglas Wilson, Bethel, Christian Nationalism and confessional boundaries
Anthony Bradley writes about Douglas Wilson: In February 2026, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth extended an invitation to Moscow, Idaho pastor Doug Wilson to lead a Christian prayer service at the Pentagon. The invitation generated immediate and considerable national attention: not least because Wilson has, over the course of several decades, developed a political theology… Continue reading Douglas Wilson, Bethel, Christian Nationalism and confessional boundaries
The blasphemous president
There has not really been much doubt about Donald Trump’s brash self confidence and high view of himself. However, many of us have expressed frequent concerns about the way that his supporters have at times pushed the boundaries, presenting their hero as a messianic figure and comparing him to Christ. Donald Trump has himself now… Continue reading The blasphemous president
Against Christian Nationalism
I’ve spent a little bit of time over the past year engaging with the subject of Christian Nationalism. I’ve pulled all the material together into this E-Book.
Against Christianity: Christendom and Christian Nationalism in Peter Leithart’s thought
As mentioned previously, there is a diversity to Federal Vision with differences between key proponents, just as you might identify differences among the early reformers, Calvin, Zwingli and Luther disagreeing on the nature of the sacraments among other things. Some have talked in terms of a Federal Vision, dark and a Federal Vision, light. Take… Continue reading Against Christianity: Christendom and Christian Nationalism in Peter Leithart’s thought
