Hijacking History: New book on the horizon

A Book About Debunking Christian Nation Story Telling

I have been a little busy lately getting a new project off the ground. Here’s a description of the book, Hijacking History with Broadleaf Books.

I am excited about the project and am working on getting the first draft in before the holidays. I want to thank Valerie Weaver-Zercher at Broadleaf for her help and guidance in getting the project up and running. This book expands the fact-checking work beyond Jefferson but also includes some psychological analysis of what attracts people to nationalism and myths about God and country. The blog might be a bit quiet while I am completing it.

I will say this: There is no shortage of material and limiting what goes in is where I have a challenge. I am relying some on the work I did for the Telling Jefferson Lies podcast series. Everyday, I see another story or crazy thing some Christian nationalist says which reminds me of a podcast episode. If you haven’t checked it out, I recommend it.

Here is the Apple site, but you can listen wherever you get your podcasts.

The first book, Getting Jefferson Right, is available for those of you who need to know more about David Barton and want to get your feet wet in debunking Christian nationalist story telling focusing on stories about Jefferson.
