The Antioch Declaration
Take a stand against the rising neo-Nazism, racism, and antisemitism in our midst.
Friends, please consider signing this major statement exposing the neo-Nazism, racism, and antisemitism currently afflicting Reformed (and other iterations of) Christianity, particularly among young men. It was not hastily conceived or drafted, but is the product of a great deal of prayer and deliberation.
If you agree with it, please publicize it in your own circles.

I appreciate this declaration. I am confused by something. I’ve not yet read Stephen Wolfe’s ‘Case for Christian Nationalism,’ though I hope to. I have read a few reviews, including Kevin DeYoung’s at TGC (https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/reviews/christian-nationalism-wolfe). It sounds as if there are ways of reading Wolfe that avoid overt racism, though DeYoung is clearly concerned about it struggles to accept Wolfe’s framing. I frankly don’t see how any form of nationalism, including something supposedly Christian, doesn’t ultimately tend toward some flavor of ethnic superiority— violating the cosmopolitan vision of scripture in which men and women of all the nations are drawn to live in one city, the New Jerusalem. My principal confusion is to see so many from Moscow and Canon signing onto this statement when a book they publish would seem (and I stress seem) to play to the very trend it rightly decries. I’m a bit baffled by that.
