Donald Trump Theology: Faith, Politics, and Christian Identity in a Divisive Era offers an in-depth exploration of how Donald Trump’s presidency has influenced American Christianity and reshaped the relationship between faith and politics. Through a careful examination of Trump’s appeal to evangelical voters, his use of religious imagery, and the rise of Christian nationalism, this book delves into the theological and ethical questions that emerged during his time in office. It explores why many Christians supported a leader whose personal life and rhetoric often seemed at odds with traditional Christian values, while others saw his presidency as a moment of deep moral compromise. The book provides an analysis of key themes such as the Prosperity Gospel, Christian nationalism, and the “Chosen One” narrative that framed Trump as a divinely appointed leader. It also highlights the voices of dissent within the Christian community, showing how theologians and pastors wrestled with the ethical implications of Trump’s policies on immigration, race, and justice. Donald Trump Theology invites readers to reflect on how Christians can engage with political issues in a way that remains true to the teachings of Christ, offering insight into the future of Christian political involvement in a post-Trump world. Key questions addressed in this book: • How did Trump gain overwhelming support from evangelical Christians despite his controversial lifestyle? • What role did Christian nationalism play in shaping his base of support? • How can Christians navigate the complex relationship between faith and political power? This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, politics, and the future of Christianity in America.
