A Biblical Response to the Christian Nationalism in Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) Movement


The question of how people who aspire to follow Christ’s teachings should respond to the MAGA movement – and to the current Trump administration’s embodiment of that movement’s principles – is admittedly a polarizing one, but the aim here is to consult New Testament (NT) scripture specifically to find guidance and insight on how to do that.

We’ll look at some NT scriptural references framed within the principles that seem to unify each group of like-minded Biblical verses. We’ll also need to decide on a method of interpretation – or “hermeneutic” – to arrive at a unified conclusion about how a modern Christian can navigate the current political landscape with these scripture references in mind.
