America is widely regarded as the ultimate "Christian Nation."
Religious language has always been at the forefront of American
politics but this has increased since the events of 9/11. 'Myth and
the Christian Nation' presents a startling analysis of how and why
Christianity and national identity have been woven together in
recent American political discourse. Drawing on examples of
religious myth-making across the ancient world 'Myth and the
Christian Nation' brings the weight of history to bear on America
today, a place where myth, monotheism, sovereignty and power can be
harnessed together in the service of specific interests. The book
invites readers to rethink the role of religion in the construction
of social democracy and to see America afresh.
