How the billionaire owners of Hobby Lobby are spending hundreds of
millions of dollars to make America a "Bible nation" The Greens of
Oklahoma City-the billionaire owners of the Hobby Lobby chain of
craft stores-are spending hundreds of millions of dollars in an
ambitious effort to increase the Bible's influence on American
society. In Bible Nation, Candida Moss and Joel Baden provide the
first in-depth investigative account of the Greens' sweeping Bible
projects. Moss and Baden tell the story of the Greens' efforts to
place a Bible curriculum in public schools; their rapid acquisition
of an unparalleled collection of biblical antiquities; their
creation of a closely controlled group of scholars to study and
promote the collection; and their construction of a $500 million
Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Revealing how all these
initiatives promote a very particular set of beliefs about the
Bible, the book raises serious questions about the trade in
biblical antiquities, the integrity of academic research, and the
place of private belief in public life.
