Patriotism, Nationalism, and the Christian - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

In
recent years, discussions of patriotism and nationalism have penetrated the
boundaries of society and moved into the walls of the church to the point where
falsely marrying the church to one side of the issue or another now regularly
occurs. As a pastor and a worship leader, I desire to see all things through
the grid of God’s glory; this includes the issue of patriotism and nationalism,
which are two drastically disparate items. What is the Christian view on
patriotism? On nationalism? Is there a single Christian view, or might there be
a plurality of right views on the issue? I am usually a both and person and prefer to view issues with an open mind, if the
view I have does not blatantly contradict Scripture. I have three primary
thoughts on the Christian’s relationship between patriotism and nationalism as
well as an additional personal note that I would like to share.
