About this ebook

This short, incisive volume examines Christian nationalism and the complex relationship between Christianity and the nation-state.

Avoiding both wholesale condemnation and uncritical endorsement, it brings together a range of biblical perspectives to distinguish between harmful and more constructive ways of understanding the relationship between the church and the nations we call home.

The book is accompanied by a Seen & Unseen Podcast featuring leading theologians, public thinkers and political voices. Contributors include Miroslav Volf, Danny Kruger MP, Pete Wilcox, Anna Rowlands, Jonathan Chaplin and Graham Tomlin, alongside further prominent voices from across the Church, academy and public life such as Tom Wright, Rowan Williams and Esau McCaulley.
