DESCRIPTION:White Evangelicalism and Christian Nationalism has occupied an 
	increasingly prominent position since—and in many ways before—the first Tr
	ump administration. Events such as January 6 and the second Trump presiden
	cy have highlighted the entanglement of politics and religious belief that
	 is central to Christian Nationalism. This symposium brings together sever
	al scholars to discuss various aspects of white Evangelicalism and Christi
	an Nationalism\, particularly as they connect to modern and contemporary A
	merican politics. The symposium serves as a forum for investigating topics
	 such as tolerance and religious pluralism\, the use of anti-abortion prot
	ests\, and the intersection of race and Christian Nationalism. Further\, t
	he symposium opens a discussion on how Evangelicalism and Christian Nation
	alism use and misuse biblical and historical material to bolster their nar
	ratives.\n\n2–2:10: Welcome – Carol Bakhos\, Chair\, Study of Religion\n\n
