This book explores the relationship between Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) and Christian nationalism. It offers a unique perspective on how CCM has transmitted Christian nationalist ideals and contributed to nationalist rhetoric and agendas in the United States. Decades before insurrectionists stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, the fires of Christian nationalism were being stoked from radio and TV stations across the country through song. Once a small movement, CCM is now a multi-billion dollar industry with significant influence in the public sphere. At a time when Christian nationalism poses a major threat to America’s religious freedom, the book sheds light on the role that music - especially CCM - has played in spreading the message and building a nationalist power base. It will be of particular interest to scholars of religion and music, religion and politics, and religion in America.
R. Shea Watts is a former Visiting Professor at Wingate University. He has worked for over fifteen years across various denominations in music and worship arts and has been published widely in academic journals. He is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA).
