Next Religious Establishment - National Identity and Political Theology in Post-Protestant America

Informationen zum Autor By Eldon J. Eisenach Klappentext America cannot survive without a common faith. History has taught us that our national identity and our political order require voluntary religious and civic organizations. Following the social, political, and cultural upheavals of the 1960s, Americans are now engaged in a struggle to determine the future of our nation's character and destiny. So argues prominent political theorist Eldon J. Eisenach in this brilliant and controversial book. Zusammenfassung Can America be a nation without a common faith? This text argues that America's national identity depends too heavily on its connection with religion to survive without it. It demonstrates how America has been defined by a series of voluntary cultural-religious establishments.
