Resumen
TAMARKIN, Mordechai. The rise and fall of Christian-Nationalism: The ideological evolution of Dopper intellectuals. In Skriflig (Online) [online]. 2020, vol.54, n.2, pp.1-6. ISSN 2305-0853. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/ids.v54i2.2640.
Christian-nationalism as the core of Afrikaner identity and ideology was introduced by Dopper intellectuals. It was used by them as early as the late 19th century. The two components of this concept were, in fact, an oxymoron. Christianity represents universal values, whereas nationalism focuses on the particular identity and interests of a particular group, the nation. Consequently, there was a built-in tension in this identity and ideological construct. For Dopper intellectuals, the Christian was clearly paramount. Nationalism had to be submitted to God's universal moral values.
