Episode 531 - Pamela Cooper-White and the Psychology of Christian Nationalism

Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) - Episode 531 - Pamela Cooper-White and the Psychology of Christian Nationalism

About the book: The Psychology of Christian Nationalism

How do we overcome polarization in American society? How do we advocate for justice when one side won't listen to the other and cycles of outrage escalate?

These questions have been pressing for years, but the emergence of a vocal, virulent Christian nationalism have made it even more urgent that we find a way forward.

In her recent book, The Psychology of Christian Nationalism, our guest, Pamela Cooper-White uncovers the troubling extent of Christian nationalism, explores its deep psychological roots, and discusses ways in which advocates for justice can safely and effectively attempt to talk across the deep divides in our society.
