Jack Jenkins, of Religion News Service, is one of the USA's rising stars in religion reporting. He has extensively analysed the narrative and rhetoric among Trump-supporting white evangelicals, as well as scrutinising Trump's own words, and developed a detailed understanding of Christian Nationalism: the way that many evangelicals have appropriated American exceptionalism to create a belief that the US is 'chosen' by God and 'set apart' for his purposes.
He talks us through the ways that political, social and theological discourse overlaps for this crucial demographic. 26% of the votes cast in the 2016 Presidential election were by people who describe themselves as white evangelicals. Their vote really counts, and Jack brings a thoughtful commentary to help us understand this influential group.

There aren’t many people who know more about the relationship between white evangelicals and the Republican Party than Tim Goeglein. A former aide to George W Bush, he’s now a Vice President at the highly influential socially conservative Focus on the Family (FOTF). Founded by James Dobson in the 1970s, FOTF is one of the major organisations which helped shift white evangelicals from emphatic separatism to a strongly influential position in the White House.
Tim tells us about the journey of that mobilisation which, within a generation, has appropriated politics and used the electoral system to further their religious and social aims. With their own highly sophisticated media operations and now social media outfits, the Christian subculture is no poor relation to the mainstream media. Their media have huge resources and charismatic leaders, and their messaging capacity outstrips many commercial players.

In this UnPacked Short, Peter Franklin, Charlotte Pickles and Katie Harrison discuss how AI doctors are becoming better than human ones and the potential implications.
An elder statesman of the social justice movement in the church, Jim Wallis is as widely read and respected outside of the US as in his home country. Or perhaps more so. The US church is very polarised, and many evangelicals would never countenance voting anything other than Republican, which makes Wallis’s theological and social positions on welfare and collective responsibility unpalatable. They’re much more recognisable to Christians in Europe, where his 2005 book God’s Politics: Why The Right Gets It Wrong And The Left Doesn’t Get It is widely considered seminal in inspiring the church to understand mission more broadly than solely proselytising.
He’s not a fan of Trump. He told us that the white evangelicals who voted for him will live to regret it, and that they owe an explanation to their black brothers and sisters who are alienated by his Presidency. Condemning the privileged “rightness of whiteness”, he points out that the black church were way ahead of white evangelicals in engaging in political and civic life when they helped lead the civil rights movement.
Hear more of his forthright opinions and warnings to the church in our cutting room floor interview.

Hear more of his experience of challenging Trump’s positions, and his theological reflections on the significance of this Presidency in our cutting room floor interview.

In this UnPacked Short, Peter Franklin, Charlotte Pickles and Henry Olsen discuss the flyover communities that voted for Trump and Brexit, and if the mainstream parties are even trying to understand them.
Michael Wear is a recent arrival on the political commentator circuit, but has fast become a fixture. He directed faith outreach for Obama’s 2012 election campaign and was one of the youngest White House staffers in modern American history, his account of which is described in illuminating detail in his book Reclaiming Hope.
His analysis of the 2016 election is incisive and emphatic: Hillary Clinton was the most religiously literate Democrat candidate in recent history, he told us, but she made no credible attempt at faith outreach. Her advisers told her she could win the country without the white evangelical vote, and they were wrong.
Is it more true that Hillary lost the election than that Trump won it? Listen to our cutting room floor interview for Michael’s fascinating analysis of the biggest blind spot of the 2016 US election.
