A Christian Nation?

Historically speaking, there was a time when Britains and Canadians would not have questioned their status as Christian nations. David Cameron had the audacity to say recently that Britains should be, “more confident about our status as a Christian country.” But today atheists, and others among the elite of society are loudly denouncing any connection to Christianity. What makes a nation “Christian” and what do the scriptures have to say about nations that would identify themselves as Christian? Jeff Patton takes a close look at the apostle Paul’s defence before the Roman authorities, Felix and Festus, to help us understand what it means to be a Christian.
