Borders, Boundaries, Backdrops

An Introduction to the Special Issue on Christianity and Nationalism

Abstract

This issue’s articles will offer views into the conditions of nation and nationalism from outside contemporary national­ism studies, or perhaps from a position that straddles the boundaries of the inside and outside of nationalism studies. We hope that they contribute in unexpected ways to focused research – sociological and beyond – on nation­alism, and on nationalism’s and Christianity’s interlocking braids through­out history.
