God's Marshall Plan
A new history documenting the transatlantic, world war-era roots of contemporary Christian nationalism
God's Marshall Plan explores the vastly different visions Protestants developed for the reconstruction of the European continent out of the ruins of war. In examining the mid-century Protestant debate over theology and political order, this book shows how the struggle for Europe's soul refined two competing political theologies—Christian nationalism and Christian globalism—that continue to reverberate to this day.
