Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism

Kingdom Coming is Michelle Goldberg’s report on the Christian Nationalism currently sweeping the country—a cultural revolution where every political issue is a battle between good and evil. Goldberg journeys from the deepest South to the Northeast to the far reaches of the West to investigate America’s new & pervasive religious radicalism. Along the way she introduces us to the movers & shakers-- players in & funders of-- the religious right, and to all of the programs, schools and political organizations that are part of it.

“Even while pointing to stark parallels between fascism and the language of the religious right, Goldberg’s vision of America’s future is measured and realistic. Her book is a potent wake-up call to pluralists in the coming show-down with Christian nationalists.”

--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Goldberg demonstrates—elegantly and persuasively—that tens of millions of our neighbors are working hard each day to obliterate the separation between church and state, to supplant scientific rationality with Iron Age fantasies, to achieve a Christian theocracy in the 21st century. This is a terrifying and necessary book.”

--Same Harris, author of The End of Faith
