Description
The nation-state remains a persistent fact in today's world. Thirty years ago, its demise was predicted, but the break-up of the Soviet Union in the 1990s reignited nationalisms and gave rise to new states. The European Union's integration has further empowered small nation-states under a supra-national umbrella. As nations like Ireland and Iceland demonstrate, why not Scotland and Catalonia? However, this raises fundamental moral questions: should humanity claim our loyalty rather than nationality? Can it be right to exclude foreigners by policing borders? Nigel Biggar offers timely Christian answers to these urgent questions in his book Between Kin and Cosmopolis. He provides a well-researched framework for considering national identity and independence, demonstrating the value of public theology in addressing pressing issues like immigration.
