José Humphreys addresses the dangerous entanglement of Christianity with nationalism and empire, particularly in the American context. He critiques the ways in which the faith has been co-opted by colonial and imperial projects, leading to a distorted version of Christianity that often aligns more with national values than with the gospel. Humphreys calls for a prophetic disentangling, urging believers to reclaim a faith that is faithful to the teachings of Jesus rather than the demands of empire.
