The Greens of Oklahoma City鈥攖he billionaire owners of the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores鈥攁re spending hundreds of millions of dollars in an ambitious effort to increase the Bible鈥檚 influence on American society. In Bible Nation, Candida Moss and Joel Baden provide the first in-depth investigative account of the Greens鈥 sweeping Bible projects. Moss and Baden tell the story of the Greens鈥 efforts to place a Bible curriculum in public schools; their rapid acquisition of an unparalleled collection of biblical antiquities; their creation of a closely controlled group of scholars to study and promote the collection; and their construction of a $500 million Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Revealing how all these initiatives promote a very particular set of beliefs about the Bible, the book raises serious questions about the trade in biblical antiquities, the integrity of academic research, and the place of private belief in public life.
