How do we address polarization in American society? The question has been pressing for years. The events of January 6, 2021, made it even more urgent. For Pamela Cooper-White the way forward lies in balancing the pastoral and the prophetic. Though difficult, our calling to fight for justice and our duty to love our neighbor must be held together.

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 three brief, incisive chapters 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.
