Summary: From Congressman Jared Huffman, a behind-the-scenes look at the shocking extent of Christian nationalism’s reach in our government―and the fight to defend church-state separation.
Sinclair Lewis is said to have predicted, “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.” Democratic congressman Jared Huffman witnessed something eerily like that vision on January 6, 2021. That was his wake-up call to the shocking power of Christian nationalism.
No Prophets argues that Christian nationalism is now America’s most dangerous political movement. Huffman uncovers the landscape of this movement―who they are, what they want, and how they plan to get it―and reveals how it has destabilized our nation more than most recognize. Blending deep research with untold stories from inside our government, he examines how this violent confederation of religious extremists is undermining science, education, foreign policy, and the very architecture of our democracy. But, Huffman argues, it’s not too late.
Provocative and clear-eyed, No Prophets exposes an existential threat to our democracy and compels us to reclaim the values core to our secular republic.
Reviews:
“A fiery denunciation of the theocrats who seek to impose their views―and policies―on this constitutional republic.”
― Kirkus Reviews
“A thought-provoking and troubling examination of the rise of Christian nationalism; highly recommended for all libraries. “
― Steve Dixon, Library Journal
“Huffman explains how those who believe America is a ‘Christian nation’ have seized political power and are threatening Americans’ safety by deferring to the Bible rather than empirical data. [R]arely have [these warnings] been told from the point of view of a sitting House member. Huffman does so in a smart, politically savvy, often wry way.”
― Joe Garofoli, San Francisco Chronicle
“A no-holds-barred examination of the political far-right’s attempt to subvert America’s civic culture.”
― Dick Spotswood, Marin Independent Journal
“Compelling… [No Prophets] chronicles the movement’s rise and documents its great and growing impact on American politics.”
― David Wippman and Glenn C. Altschuler, The Hill
“Huffman holds out hope that American institutions can withstand the challenges presented by Christian nationalism.…No Prophets is a bold and enlightening contribution to that cause.”
― Bill Lueders, The Progressive
“This fantastic book introduces a cast of reactionaries who have mounted an assault on America’s constitutional democracy―and holds accountable the leaders who have enabled its rise and brought us to the brink of fascism.”
― Katherine Stewart, New York Times best-selling author of Money, Lies, and God
“As someone who cherishes both my faith and our constitutional republic, I found No Prophets both sobering and inspiring. Jared Huffman shows how Christian nationalism betrays the very principles it claims to defend, and he does so with clarity, compassion, and unflinching honesty.”
― Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House of Representatives
“A compelling call to govern the United States with reason rather than authoritarianism. The time is now. Solid separation of church and state is the only way to preserve religious freedom―and to protect our democracy. Please read on.”
― Bill Nye (the Science Guy)
“As a conservative Christian who fought extremism from inside the Republican Party, I recommend this book to Americans of every political and religious background who want to understand what we’re up against―and why we must stand together to save the country we love.”
― Adam Kinzinger, United States Air Force officer and former United States representative
“Let me offer a prayer of thanks for Jared Huffman’s crucial dissection of Christian nationalism, a heresy that threatens both our democracy and the gospel message. May his powerful words serve as a rallying cry for the work that must be done to safeguard the future.”
― Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun and founder of 350.org
