Steven Elliot Grosby is Professor of Religion at Clemson University.
Education[edit]
Grosby received his PhD from the Committee on Social Thought of the University of Chicago.[citation needed]
Career[edit]
Grosby's areas of research include the ancient Near East, the Hebrew Bible, the relation between religion and nationality, and Social and Political Philosophy.
His articles have appeared in journals such as Zeitschrift fur die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft, History of Religions, Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient, Archives Europeennes de Sociologie, and Nations and Nationalism.
“Grosby asserts that the human tendency to form attachments to the image of the native land. . . suggests something fundamental about human conduct.” [1]
In his book Biblical Ideas of Nationality: Ancient and Modern, Grosby argues that the ideas of modern nationhood were already present in the Ancient Near East in places like Armenia, Edom, Egypt, and especially Biblical Israel, which later became the major model for European nation formation.
According to Anthony D. Smith, Grosby argues that “from roughly the late seventh century BCE… Israel appears as a fully fledged nation.” [2]
