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.
