Bible nation : the United States of Hobby Lobby / Candida R. Moss and Joel S. Baden. by Moss, Candida R. Princeton University Press, 2017. Call #: 261.70973 M913b Subjects Green family.   Museum of the Bible.   Hobby Lobby (Firm)   Evangelicalism -- United States.   Christianity and culture -- United States.   Christianity -- Influence.   United States -- Church history -- 21st century. ISBN:  9780691177359 (hc.) Description:  x, 223 pages ; 25 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Contents:  The collection -- The Green Scholars Initiative -- Education -- The Museum of the Bible Summary:  The story of the Green family of Oklahoma City and their rapid acquisition of an unparalleled collection of biblical antiquities; their creation of a closely controlled group of scholars to study and promote their collection; their efforts to place a Bible curriculum in public schools; and their construction of a $500 million Museum of the Bible near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. How these seemingly disparate initiatives promote a very particular set of beliefs about the Bible and raise serious ethical questions about the trade in biblical antiquities and the integrity of academic research. How a vast private fortune is being used to promote personal faith in the public sphere and why it should matter to everyone. The billionaire owners of Hobby Lobby, a huge nationwide chain of craft stores, are now America's biggest financial supporters of Christian causes, spending hundreds of millions of dollars in an effort to increase the Bible's influence on American society. Author Candida Moss is Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of Notre Dame.
