Honey from the Lion

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the complex relationship between nationalism and Christian ethics, challenging the notion that nationalism is inherently unethical. Doug Gay presents a historical perspective, linking nationalism to state formation in early modern Europe, the decolonization movement, and the post-1989 reshaping of Central and Eastern Europe. He posits that nationalism can represent a legitimate response to imperial domination and a quest for self-determination, highlighting a gap in political theology's understanding of nationalism's role in contemporary society.
