I\u2019m irritated with Thomas Nelson because they:<\/p>\n

(1) Chose to publish The Patriot\u2019s Bible<\/i>, a Bible that draws the Bible\u2019s message and American nationalism as close as possible, and
(2) Chose as the General Editor Richard Lee<\/a>, a Southern Baptist pastor (nothing against him or pastors per se), instead of a specialist in Church-State relations who knows Bible, theology, and Church history \u2014 not to say the history of political theory.<\/p>\n

The use of the Bible for political relations in our modern world \u2014 free enterprise liberal democracies with all kinds of histories and issues of pluralism and the like \u2014 summons us to exceedingly important nuance and careful definitions.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Greg Boyd (one<\/a> and two<\/a> parts) and Richard Lee<\/a> have already gone at it at Out of Ur blog. And John D\u2019Elia<\/a> weighs in on this one too.<\/p>\n
