| 520 | |a In June 2020, after the killing of George Floyd, President Donald Trump posed with a Bible outside St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, DC. For many, the scene epitomized the relationship between scripture and politics: the Bible is a prop, a tool for leaders to exploit for their purpose. Schiess's book has two goals: to mine history for examples of biblical interpretation distanced enough from our own context that we might be able to see things clouding our judgment in the heat of our own debates; and to gain a rough sketch of some of the political biblical interpretation trends and traditions that have shaped America. -- Adapted from Introduction. | ||
