Autor Christina L. Littlefield
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2013
The six British and American thinkers examined in this study embraced the myth of chosenness for their countries, believed that the liberties they enjoyed were inherently tied to their Protestant faith, and that it was their mission to protect and spread that faith, and its democratic fruit, at home and abroad.

Recenzii

"Because Christina Littlefield helps us see what we have not seen well before - the transnational dimensions of America's civil religion - this book is crucial reading for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of religion and politics in the Western world. Littlefield's incisive analysis helps us discern the deep moral ambiguities that inevitably plague efforts to build the kingdom of God around a nation, a race, or a particular civilization. This enormously stimulating book implicitly suggests another fruitful comparison - the extent to which the Christian Left of the late nineteenth century has paradoxically informed the civic faith of America's Christian Right today." Richard T. Hughes Messiah College "The great value of Christina Littlefield's book lies in its bringing together of what has too often been studied in mutual isolation. Christian reformers in late nineteenth-century Britain and their contemporaries in the United States, ideas of civil religion and of the social gospel, and concepts of the kingdom of God and of the chosen nation, are all brought into relationship in a way that is both original and illuminating." Brian Stanley University of Edinburgh "In this meticulously researched book, Christina Littlefield offers a new perspective on six late nineteenth-century socially progressive church leaders, three from the United States and three from the United Kingdom. Using the concept of civil religion, she argues that each was articulating core beliefs of contemporary society as much as those of the Christian faith, and in this way demonstrates what might be called the soft underbelly of the social gospel. No one interested in social comment by religious leaders can ignore this book." David M. Thompson University of Cambridge "Christina Littlefield has provided a perceptive, original and highly readable account of the social gospel movement in its trans-Atlantic context, exploring how American and British proponents sought to preserve a Christian social ethic amid rapid industrialisation and urbanisation. She admirably portrays the attractions in their efforts to shape a humane civil society, but also the dangers of their language of 'chosenness' and divine favour." Stewart J. Brown University of Edinburgh
