Summary:

Constructing an alternative account of the people of God-We the People exposes the anti-Jewish, theological roots of modern, national movements of peoplehood and offers a constructive account of the people of God in relation to the election of Israel and of Jesus. In developing his account of the constitution and ethics of the people of God according to election, Givens critically engages the theology of Karl Barth and exegesis of Carl Schmitt, Jacob Taubes, and N. T. Wright. Book jacket.
