OMH! This is so wrong on so many levels. There is nothing about America in the Bible and this is clearly a confusion of the kingdom of this world with the kingdom of God. Save your money, rightwing Christians!

I am a first time visitor to this blog. This is a very well written edition of the bible that outlines how Christianity has been a centerpiece in our country's 230+ years.
From my reading it does not claim a superiority but a majority in thought and framework.
Some of the thoughts on this blog have been very narrow and intollerant.
Check out Greg Boyd's review...

Alright, my local bookstore has three ESV Study Bibles, all shrink-wrapped so I can't peruse. Anyway, I wouldn't feel right removing the cellophane without being certain of buying.
Didn't see any editions of this Bible there ... yet. I'll keep checking ...
that its military victories were evidence of divine favor. This has been a staple of pagan religion from the start.
The what, now, of pagan religion?!
Y'all realize how violent American culture (I didn't say "society") is? Part & parcel.
Here is follow-up posting from Greg Boyd detailing just a few of the outrageous and idolatrous commentaries in this bible.

GSJ- have you really read this bible? And you honestly think Christianity has been a center piece of our country's history? If it has, then it has only served to further desecrate the name of Christ.
I will quote Fredrick Douglas (as boyd did in his posting):
"Between the Christianity of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference – so wide, that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt and wicked…I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity.”
