Battle Plans: Christian Conservatism at War
摘要
Chapter 10 began the process of explaining how Christian conservative pastors, attorneys, ministry leaders, and laypeople told the fourth and final part of their master narrative: restoring America to its imagined Christian constitutional order. In that chapter, I recounted how seemingly humble stories of Christian conservative mourning and lament after Obergefell actually wound up reinforcing a narcissistic approach to constitutional governance: one that placed their own social and political desires and preoccupations at the center of the story. Even blaming themselves for Obergefell represented an implied confidence in their larger destiny, because the stories they told consistently assumed the legitimacy and even the moral correctness of Christian national leadership.
