在基督教国家取得统治地位 非洲背景下的北美政治神学

本文追溯了北美神学对赞比亚当代基督教民族主义的一些影响。我从概述基督教重建和新使徒宗教改革的主要原则开始，展示这些运动如何影响赞比亚基督教民族主义项目中一些关键人物的写作。我还展示了这些作者如何修改塑造他们思想的西方观念。这一分析响应了基督教人类学的呼吁，即更好地记录基督教民族主义在世界各地（尤其是西方以外）所采取的各种形式。它还通过突出当地作家和神学家的作用，挑战了关于西方基督教活动家对非洲基督教政治影响的简单论点，即使他们参与了起源于西方的神学思想。
This article traces some of the North American theological influences on contemporary Christian nationalism in Zambia. Beginning with an overview of key tenets of Christian Reconstruction and the New Apostolic Reformation, I show how these movements have influenced the writing of some key players in Zambia’s Christian nationalist project. I also demonstrate how these authors have modified the Western ideas that have shaped their thought. This analysis responds to calls in the anthropology of Christianity for better documentation of the various forms Christian nationalism takes around the world, perhaps especially outside the West. It also challenges easy arguments about the influence of Western Christian activists on Christian politics in Africa by foregrounding the agency of local writers and theologians, even as they engage with theological ideas that originated in the West.
