"While some in the mainstream media want to apply the label “Christian nationalism” (CN) broadly, encompassing all conservative Christians interested in politics, there’s a narrower use, particularly by Christians who appropriate the CN label for themselves; this latter will be our focus. There are two Reformed approaches to politics relevant to our subject: a two-kingdom, natural law model (NL/2K), which has older and newer versions, and a neo-Calvinist approach, which can be either Kuyperian or some version of theonomic/reconstructionist. Both are used in defense of CN and the allied attempt to reestablish some form of Christendom, though the newer version of NL/2K, of David Van Drunen, Michael Horton, etc., and Kuyperianism, have no sympathy at all for Christian Nationalism. In this piece, I will focus on those taking a reconstructionist or “general equity” theonomic approach, namely, Andrew Torba and Andrew Isker in their work on CN and then Douglas Wilson in Mere Christendom.
“Christian nationalism” is a moniker, then, that some in the mainstream media have been applying rather indiscriminately to many perceived as Christian and politically conservative, whether those parties would agree with that label and self-identify in that fashion. In other words, “Christian nationalism” has been used by many on the political left as a term of opprobrium for those that they see as their opponents on the right. Many who are Christian and conservative in politics would be considered and tagged as “Christian nationalists” by progressives, though those same conservative Christians would not see themselves as Christian nationalists and would disdain the label altogether."
