Straight talk on the Christian Prince, Novarnish, August 9, 2023, Introduction.

As I've been observing the debate over Christian nationalism develop is not really the right

verb.

Stagger is more like it.

As I've watched the debate over Christian nationalism stagger around, perhaps toward

resolution, a few thoughts have occurred to me from time to time.

Actually one basic thought has occurred to me over and over and over again, and so naturally

I thought I should tell you about it.

When men from disparate backgrounds and perspectives all seem to be sharing the same fundamental

misunderstanding, some of them innocently and others not so much, it makes me want to speak

to that misunderstanding.

I've seen it in Michael O'Fallon, James Lindsay, Tim Bailey, Michael Horton, Scott Clark

and DG Hart.

There's one common misconception running underneath all of their criticisms of a Christian

Prince, and so I thought to address it here.

I'm going to attempt to put this response of mine in a nutshell, but what is more likely

to happen is that I shall wind up putting the same response into a handful of different

nutshells, but it doesn't really matter which nut you pick first, that is all the same

basic point anyhow, and that is why they all taste like sweet walnut.

All ethical judgments in order to be ethical judgments require transcendental grounding.
