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

In The Myth of a Christian Nation, theologian and pastor Gregory A. Boyd issues a provocative, scripturally rigorous call for the church to reclaim its distinct identity apart from nationalistic politics. Boyd sharply contrasts the 'kingdom of the sword'—which relies on coercion and political dominance—with the 'kingdom of the cross,' which conquers through sacrificial love, humility, and radical service. Warning against the spiritual peril of aligning the gospel with partisan agendas, this timely book urges believers to abandon coercive political idolatries and bear authentic, countercultural witness to Jesus Christ and His heavenly kingdom.
