Interweaving elements of history, theology, literary criticism, and cultural theory, the essays in this volume discuss the ways in which biblical understandings have shaped Western - and particularly European and North American - assumptions about the nature and meaning of the nation.Part of the Green College Lecture Series, this wide-ranging collection moves from the earliest Pauline and Rabbinic exegesis through Christian imperial and missionary narratives of the late Roman, medieval, and early modern periods to the entangled identity politics of 'mainstream' nineteenth-and twentieth-century North America. Taken together, the essays show that, while theories of globalization, postmodernism, and postcolonialism have all offered critiques of identity politics and the nation-state, the global present remains heavily informed by biblical-historical intuitions of nationhood. 410 0$aGreen College thematic lecture series. 606 $aNationalism 606 $aNationalism$xBible teaching 606 $aNationalism$xReligious aspects 606 $aReligion and state 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNationalism. 615 0$aNationalism$xBible teaching. 615 0$aNationalism$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aReligion and state. 676 $a320.54 702 $aVessey$b Mark 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460920903321 996 $aThe calling of the nations$92125395 997 $aUNINA
