Citizenship in the Postwar Kingdom of God

By Phoebe Marie Holmes

Book Overview

""Citizenship in the Postwar Kingdom of God"" by Phoebe Marie Holmes is a historical and theological analysis of the concept of citizenship in the United States during the post-World War II era. The book explores the ways in which the Christian church, particularly the Southern Baptist Convention, shaped and influenced the understanding of citizenship and its relationship to faith and politics. Holmes examines the role of religion in shaping political and social attitudes, and how Christian beliefs were used to justify segregation and other forms of discrimination. She also explores the ways in which the civil rights movement challenged and reshaped these beliefs, and how the church responded to these changes. The book offers a nuanced and critical analysis of the intersection of religion, politics, and citizenship in the postwar era, and provides insight into contemporary debates about the role of religion in public life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
