Reviews for Bible Nation: The United States of Hobby Lobby

A timely read for those interested in the relationship between money, faith, and American politics. --Publishers Weekly Bible Nation is a geek's delight, seasoned with the historical skulduggery and theological debate found in a Dan Brown novel or an Indiana Jones film. --Hamilton Cain, Minneapolis Star Tribune Exhaustively reported and scrupulously fair, Bible Nation doubles as a portrait of conviction: The Greens may well be the most sincere and most-frequently misguided activists in America. --Sarah Jones, New Republic A troubling look into how a personal belief system can infiltrate seemingly public institutions through corporate means. --Library Journal An essential, unsettling and often shocking account. . . . [A] remarkable fusion of biblical studies and investigative journalism. . . . Moss and Baden uncover many alarming details about the Greens' acquisitions and the scholars they have paid to study them. --Sarah Posner, Washington Post
