Earlier this week, Canon Press, the media outlet of Doug Wilson’s sphere of influence in Evangelicalism promoted a podcast that they produced titled, A Judeo-Christian Christmas in which they endorsed the term Judeo-Christian and denounced as a strawman the prevailing understanding that the term denotes shared values and more. This term has become a sticking point in what’s being called Woke Wars II where Doug Wilson has played an instrumental role in combatting his own followers when it comes to debating a Christian understanding of Modern Jews.
In their podcast, the younger Wilson and Brian Kohl the CEO of Canon Press, Evangelical Dark Web reported their arguments as follows.
Judeo-Christian is a term to describe the shared moral and religious values that are believed to be common among Protestants, Catholics, and Jews. The phrase gained more widespread usage in the latter half of the 20th century, particularly during the Cold War, as it was often used to emphasize the supposed unity of American values in contrast to those of the Soviet Union and other supposed godless ideologies. The term is a farce, as Christians and Jews have opposed values.
Nate Wilson and Brian Kohl frame the oft-used, traditional definition of “Judeo-Christian” as a straw man so that they can insert their own into the discussion which occurs towards the end of the podcast.
In essence, they argue that Christianity is a continuation of Judaism in the same way that The Two Towers is a continuation of The Lord of The Rings (their analogy). Wilson argues that “Judeo-Christian” is a recognition of this continuity, not a conflation or syncretization of two religions.
But if this is truly the case, then why is the thumbnail for their video a six-pointed star Christmas tree topper? Is Nate Wilson completely unaware that the so-called Star of David is an occultic symbol that Christians have zero connection with? The religion of the Old Testament is not embodied by this symbol, so with it, there is no continuity. So Wilson is perhaps dishonest in what he truly means by Judeo-Christian, because his entire podcast is a meandering trolling of his audience.
Nate “ND” Wilson is being a dutiful son to a father who has made this a pet issue during a time that he is being platformed in mainstream political conservative circles, and doesn’t want political liabilities. This is especially made clear when Doug Wilson openly admitted that his failed Antioch Declaration which the majority of his elders and deacons did not cosign was meant to give cover to Pete Hegseth who has been nominated for Secretary of Defense.
However, as the internet would expose, the stance of the dutiful son is a shift away from the position of the astute father.
Doug Wilson’s Mere Christendom was published in 2023 months and this quote appears on page 90. And yet, less than two years later, Moscow, Idaho would be countersigning the narrative they helped promote. Doug Wilson was not a shock jock in Mere Christendom here; he was articulating a widely held position within his audience. Doug Wilson is no NPC, but he is doing the meme.
The bull went out from the Pope of Moscow, Idaho whereby Wilson’s views have changed in light of what he perceives as a threat to what he has built. While the exact motivation is uncertain, it is clear that Wilson is not as petty as Tobias Riemenschneider. Furthermore, Canon Press engaged in actions designed to provoke rightward Christians to take a position that seemed to be their contribution to the fight in Woke Wars II.
They say inconsistency is a sign of a losing argument, and Moscow’s inconsistency on the Judeo-Christian question is being exposed.

Two people have different opinions. Say it ain’t so.
The constant campaign by lying traitors to falsely associate good things with judaism is designed to deceive and gaslight people into being pro-jewish, which is the same as being pro-evil.
The jews are worried that people are awakening and realizing the truth, so (((they))) have deployed (((their))) army of traitor-pastors and traitor-theologians to spew pro-jewish manipulative propaganda.
In some cases, the traitors are even letting the mask slip and removing the “Christian” from “judeo-christian.”
A supposedly “Christian” writer named Mark Tooley wrote an article in which he falsely claimed that the USA is a “judaic country.”
Of course that is a complete lie, but it shows how brazen and shameless the traitors have become, that they are starting to drop the “Christian” from “judeo-christian” and reveal that the term “judeo-christian” has always been a fraud designed to deceive Christians into being pro-jewish.
My take: Doug Wilson and his son are double minded men unstable in all their ways. The two don’t disagree with each other; they’re just both incoherent flipfloppers, and two-faced. Imagine publishing Stephen Wolfe’s book and then trying to make war with him. I think Stephen Wolfe needs to republish it via self-publishing because I haven’t bought it yet, and won’t so long as Doug Wilson will get a dime from it.
The authors of the evil heretical “Antioch Declaration” are manipulatively trying to take ownership of Christianity, by naming their declaration after Antioch.
Of course, the “Antioch Declaration” has nothing to do with actual Christianity, and everything to do with manipulating, deceiving, and gaslighting Christians into being pro-jewish.
The authors let their mask slip and admit this on the signatories page, where at the top of the page they claim that the “Antioch Declaration” is needed because people are spamming their heretical declaration with mocking fake names. The authors also smear everyone who disagrees with them as “neo-nazis.”
With that paragraph at the top of their signatories page, the authors basically admit that the entire purpose of the “Antioch Declaration” is to defend the evil jews, and manipulatively gaslight Christians into being pro-jewish.
The authors and signatories of the “Antioch Declaration” are traitors.
Theologically the Wilson’s understand the obvious fact that Christianity and Rabbinical Judaism are incompatible, but politically they want to merge the two because it’s a tool for creating support for the modern state called “Israel” and for slandering their enemies as antisemitic to force them to sit down and shut up.
Doug Wilson’s Christendom would not reshape the government to confirm to his theology as much as it would force the church to conform to his politics.
