520 |a This article explores and challenges the increasingly popular idea that nations can be corporately Christian. Advocates of a ‘Christian nation’ stance hold that a strategic goal of Christian public action is to defend or restore the nation's essentially Christian character. The article expounds this view as expressed in recent statements of British public theologians and church leaders. A core underlying assumption is then identified: that nations today can collectively be addressed by, respond to, and be held accountable to God, along the lines of biblical Israel. It is argued that this grounding lacks adequate biblical support.
