The Myth of a Christian Nation: How the Quest for Political Power Is Destroying the Church

From: $4.90

Should church and state really be separated? Does the church belong in the political arena? Arguing from Scripture and history, The Myth of a Christian Nation makes a compelling case that whenever the church gets too close to any political or national ideology, it is disastrous for the church and harmful to society. Contending that the American Evangelical Church has allowed itself to be co-opted by the political right (and some by the political left), Dr. Boyd exposes how this harms the churchs unique calling to build the kingdom of God. In the course of his argument, he challenges some deeply held convictions of evangelical Christians in America, such as America being \a Christian nation\ and that Christians ought to be trying to \take America back for God.\ Includes a discussion guide for small group use.

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 01, 2007 Type: User Review Read it and grow

I was intrigued by the title of this book so I sent for it. It is probably the most challenging book I have read for several years. Boyd presents starkly the differences between the Kingdom of God -- which if you are in doubt about what that...

This book should be required reading for all seminary students, whatever the denomination. I am passing it on to several people and will happily recommend it to others. As a professing Christian, it is my priviledge to work toward the coming of...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 07, 2007 Type: User Review The cross, not the sword: Jesus's way is not force

Imagine handing this book to the Crusader's to read on their charge to "take back" the Holy Land. Imagine handing this book to the Inquisitors as they prepared to chase down heretics and apostates to torture and burn. Would it get through to them?...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 26, 2007 Type: User Review An Awesome Summary of the Christian Faith

Boyd articulates the essence of my belief and faith which is Jesus Christ and not human dogma. I kept repeating as I read, "this is exactly what I believe!" Why should this be so startling? Because for years my belief system had been decimated...

Three quarters of Americans believe the Bible teaches that "God helps those who help themselves." That is, three out of four Americans believe that this uber-American idea, a notion at the core of our current individualist politics and culture,...
