The Myth of a Christian Nation
How the Quest for Political Power is Destroying the Church
Book • 2007
In this book, Greg Boyd challenges the theology of the Christian right and the idea of American exceptionalism.
He argues that the fusion of the kingdom of God with the kingdom of the world is idolatrous and has negative effects on the message of Christianity.
Boyd contends that Christians should not align themselves with any particular political ideology or party and should instead focus on following Jesus and embodying his teachings.
He also discusses the historical and theological flaws in the notion that America is a 'Christian Nation' and highlights the harmful consequences of the church's involvement in politics.
