内容説明・目次

内容説明

This volume examines the connections between religion and political discourse in the arena of American politics. By looking at the writings of American thinkers from colonial times to the present, the work argues for the consistency and permanence of the American religious vision as it relates to political life. Ideas including Manifest Destiny, America as 'God's Country' and Americans as 'God's People' are explored within this framework, as is how these ideals of American exceptionalism and the ""City on the Hill"" have survived and mutated into the current U.S. political climate.
