Join us for Kirkwood Community College's Annual Humanities Lecture: The Ongoing Threat of White Christian Nationalism to Democracy in the United States.
Andrew L. Whitehead is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Director of the Association of Religion Data Archives (theARDA.com) at the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture at IUPUI. He is one of the foremost scholars of Christian nationalism in the United States. He is the lead author of Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States (Oxford University Press, 2020) — along with Samuel Perry — which won the 2021 Distinguished Book Award from the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion.
Whitehead's next book, American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church, was published on Aug. 15, 2023, from Brazos Press. Whitehead is a sought-after speaker and has shared his work with diverse audiences: academic and public, religious and secular.
Whitehead's research on Christian nationalism has been featured across several national outlets including The New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, CNN Today, The Economist, Rolling Stone, and The Guardian. He has been interviewed on NBC News, National Public Radio, and the BBC, among others, and is routinely contacted for perspective on religion and politics from national and international news media. He has also written for The Washington Post, Time, NBC News, and the Religion News Service, among other outlets.
Prior to the lecture, on Monday, Nov. 6, attend a conversation with Whitehead at First Presbyterian Church at 310 5th St. SE in Cedar Rapids. Copies of his book will be available for purchase from Next Page Books at the event, and Whitehead will sign all purchased books.
All events are free and open to the public.
