Church and Nation The Bishop Paddock Lectures for 1914-15

"Church and Nation" by William Temple is a series of talks that tries to answer big questions about what being a Christian means for how people act in their country, especially when that country is at war. Looking at the start of the book, the author shares his thoughts about speaking on these topics during a time of global chaos, focusing on how faith and a sense of national pride connect. The book suggests considering important ideas like the part religion should play in a country's actions, how being kind and loving can be stronger than using force, and why it's so important for Christians to think about these things with a sense of purpose and unity; it all sets the stage to consider how God's influence and the idea of national identity fit together
