American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church, by Andrew L. Whitehead.
This book is particularly relevant to us in Indiana, as it includes the moving story of how the author grew up in a small Indiana community as a conservative evangelical Christian, and found a new way of thinking in courses at Purdue (so motivating to many of us who are teachers!). He has become the leading sociologist studying Christian Nationalism, and is now at IU Indianapolis. - Jane Frankenberger
