Notions of ‘Christendom’ often miss the mark – medieval Europe’s ideas about faith and power were not so simple There has never been a singular Christian perspective on how religion, power and politics ought to relate to each other – not even in medieval ‘Christendom.’

🇺🇸 Debates over “Christian nationalism” resurface as political leaders invoke faith, drawing on powerful (often simplified) visions of a unified Christian past. History and ideology collide in today’s public square.

Revelation Without Armageddon: Why Catholic Doctrine Resists End-Times Politics The Catholic Church lives in expectation of Christ’s return, but not to anticipate its timing or to identify its precursors in specific political developments.

Not all Christians read the end times the same way.

Catholic doctrine rejects prophetic timelines, and with them, the idea that war fulfills history.

Apocalypse and Foreign Policy: How Evangelical Theology Shapes American Views of Israel and the Iran War Evangelical support for Israel can be both intense but not rooted in shared religious identity.

Why do many American evangelicals see the Iran war in theological—not political—terms?

Eschatology shapes U.S. foreign policy in ways we rarely acknowledge.

Jesus reacts to a war fundraiser and asks a simple question about incentives…

“So… more soldiers die… more money comes in?”

Multiple civilizations are simultaneously beginning to interpret
the present moment as historically decisive.

Scholars call this eschatological convergence.

It's not just religious. It's structural.

Do Resources Define the Parameters of Faith-based Engagement and Diplomacy Today? NEW YORK, February 2 (IPS) - Several events, meetings, consultations, initiatives, etc. taking place among faith-inspired, ‘faith-based’ and a variety of other similar efforts, over the past year, in the United States especially, concern me.

When Fear Erases Humanity: Can the Dignity Index Heal Us? Language shapes reality — and the words we use about our opponents can either protect society or incite its downfall.

Spiritual language is now a tool for dehumanizing others.

The Dignity Index helps disrupt that and return us to shared humanity.

Lessons From a Whiteboard: How One Christian College Prank Revealed a Much Bigger Problem Some conservative religious institutions are built not on teaching people how to think, but telling them what to think — and punishing deviation.
