  Power. Fear. Violence. These three idols of Christian nationalism are corrupting American Christianity. 
   
   
   
  Andrew Whitehead is a leading scholar on Christian nationalism in America and speaks widely on its effects within Christian communities. In this book, he shares his journey and reveals how Christian nationalism threatens the spiritual lives of American Christians and the church. 
   
   
   
  Whitehead shows how Christians harm their neighbors when they embrace the idols of power, fear, and violence. He uses two key examples—racism and xenophobia—to demonstrate that these idols violate core Christian beliefs. Through stories, he illuminates expressions of Christianity that confront Christian nationalism and offer a faithful path forward. 
   
   
   
  American Idolatry encourages further conversation about what Christian nationalism threatens, how to face it, and why it is vitally important to do so. It will help identify Christian nationalism and build a framework that makes sense of the relationship between faith and the current political and cultural context.

  The Origin and Development of...

  The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory is a concise and illuminating journey through one of the most important ideas in human thought: the nature of matter itself. 
  Written in the early twentieth century, Maynard Shipley traces the evolution of atomic theory from its philosophical beginnings in the ancient world to its emergence as a cornerstone of modern science. Beginning with the Pythagoreans and early Greek and Indian thinkers, Shipley explores how number, geometry, and speculation first shaped humanity’s attempts to understand the structure of reality. 
  The narrative follows the development of atomism through Leucippus and Democritus, examining atoms and the void, causal necessity, sensory perception, and the physical properties of shape, size, and arrangement. Shipley contrasts these ideas with competing schools of thought, including the Eleatics’ denial of motion and Anaxagoras’ theory of “seeds,” before turning to Epicurus and Lucretius, whose writings defended atomism against superstition and divine design. 
  In its final chapters, the book connects ancient philosophy to modern science, charting the revival of atomism through thinkers such as Descartes and Gassendi and culminating in John Dalton’s quantitative laws of chemistry. Shipley concludes by linking these early models to modern discoveries—electrons, nuclei, isotopes, and atomic number—showing how a speculative idea became a measurable scientific reality. 
  Clear, thoughtful, and accessible, The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory offers a timeless overview of how human reason slowly uncovered the hidden structure of matter—and laid the foundations of chemistry and physics as we know them.
