Summary/Abstract

This paper explores the complexities of the relationship between God and territory as they are developed within the Christian scriptures. It traces the multiple layers of meaning that are developed as the theological narrative which links God to a particular "chosen people" in a "promised land" (ancient Israel) is transformed into one which links God in Christ to a worldwide transterritorial community ("the people of God"). Theological analysis demonstrates different typological interpretations that have been subject to ideological selectivity in their historical appropriation by "Christian" nations, particularly the United States. The religious background to contemporary geopolitical claims by the Bush administration, framed by avowedly biblical justification, is dissected.
