The Political Seduction of the Church: How Millions Of American Christians Have Confused Politics with the Gospel
Was the relationship between evangelical Christians and Donald Trump a match made in heaven or a marriage made with hell? Did Christian conservatives trade their reputation for a seat at the political table, or is this just a false accusation from the Trump-hating, Christian-bashing, leftist media? And how did Donald Trump go from unlikely presidential candidate to superhero to political savior in the eyes of his supporters?
In this penetrating, carefully documented, no-holds barred book, biblical scholar and cultural commentator Dr. Michael Brown explains how millions of sincere Christians wrapped the gospel in the American flag and got so caught up in partisan politics that President Trump, almost more than Jesus, became the rallying point of their faith.
While rejecting the exaggerated, caricatured claims of the left, in which Trump supporters were branded white supremacists and insurrectionists, Brown, himself a two-time Trump voter, spells out the dangers of Christian nationalism, rejects the idea that the Church is called to take over society, and lays out a strategy for healthy political and cultural engagement.

Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution
How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman shows how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.” Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas on religion, free speech, and personal identity.
