Christians Threatening Democracy

With Matthew Taylor

American Values Coalition, Napp Nazworth, and Matthew D. Taylor
May 20
 
READ IN APP
 

Summary

In this conversation, Napp Nazworth interviews Matthew D. Taylor, author of 'The Violent, Take It By Force,' discussing the evolution of the Christian Right, particularly the rise of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and its implications for democracy. Taylor explains how the NAR has shifted the focus of evangelicalism from traditional political engagement to a more aggressive, conquest-oriented approach, exemplified by the Seven Mountain Mandate. He critiques the NAR's interpretation of violence and prophecy, and argues that their influence poses a significant threat to democratic values, especially in light of events like January 6th. The discussion also touches on the NAR's relationship with the Trump administration and the broader implications for American society.
