Book Synopsis American Covenant by : Philip Gorski
Download or read book American Covenant written by Philip Gorski and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long battle between exclusionary and inclusive versions of the American story Was America founded as a Christian nation or a secular democracy? Neither, argues Philip Gorski in American Covenant. What the founders envisioned was a prophetic republic that would weave together the ethical vision of the Hebrew prophets and the Western political heritage of civic republicanism. In this eye-opening book, Gorski shows why this civil religious tradition is now in peril—and with it the American experiment. American Covenant traces the history of prophetic republicanism from the Puritan era to today, providing insightful portraits of figures ranging from John Winthrop and W.E.B. Du Bois to Jerry Falwell, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama. Featuring a new preface by the author, this incisive book demonstrates how half a century of culture war has drowned out the quieter voices of the vital center, and demonstrates that if we are to rebuild that center, we must recover the civil religious tradition on which the republic was founded.

Book Synopsis An American Covenant by : Lucile Scott
Download or read book An American Covenant written by Lucile Scott and published by Topple. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of mystic resistance and liberation and of five women who transcended the expected to transform America. For centuries, women who emerge as mystic leaders have played vital roles in American culture. For just as long, they've been subjugated and ridiculed. Today, women and others across the nation are once again turning to their mystic powers to #HexThePatriarchy and help fight the forces that seem bent on relegating them to second-class citizenry. Amid this tumult, Lucile Scott looks to the past and the stories of five women over three centuries to form an ancestral spiritual coven: Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans; Cora L. V. Scott, nineteenth-century Spiritualist superstar; Helena Blavatsky, mother of Theosophy; Zsuzsanna Budapest, feminist witch and founder of Dianic Wicca; and Marianne Williamson, presidential candidate and preacher of the New Age Gospel of Love. Each, in their own ways, defied masculine preconceptions about power. A scathing queer feminist history and a personal quest for transcendence, An American COVENant opens our eyes to the paths forged by women who inspired the nation in their own times--and who will no longer be forgotten or silenced in ours.

Book Synopsis Rediscovering the American Covenant by : Mark Burrell Burrell
Download or read book Rediscovering the American Covenant written by Mark Burrell Burrell and published by . This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is in decline. What is the cause, and what must be done to re-establish our founding principles? Nothing in print today clearly answers these questions from a biblical standpoint. Until now. Mark Burrell's Rediscovering the American Covenant provides fresh light on biblical principles for civil government and the citizenship duty all Christians have in the communities in which they live. These principles are extracted empirically from the Bible, showing how they informed the actions of the founders in 1776, thus establishing our national covenant. The simple, yet critical blueprint they followed is described--the same blueprint needed today to restore America's founding principles. The author concludes with a call to action for Christians and the church, to rediscover the American covenant and fulfill the citizenship duty we have as Christians. A roadmap makes this content actionable. All the opposing arguments aimed to dimmish America are addressed, some in fresh ways. Given the breadth of the material, full 2-page illustrations are used to set the tone for each chapter. Additional illustrations draw the reader in and help connect concepts to the active citizenship duty Christians have. A 2-page theological monograph is also included, incorporating key governing principles. The aim of this book is to present a thorough biblical argument for: 1. Active citizenship as a vital part of the Christian faith (including sharing the Gospel). 2. How this duty informed the actions of the founders as they codified and declared our American national covenant. 3. Steps for Christians to re-engage politically, to restore their local community and America to a God honoring nation.

Download or read book American Covenant written by Yuval Levin and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A top conservative scholar reveals the Constitution’s remarkable power to repair our broken civic culture, rescue our malfunctioning politics, and unify a fractious America Common ground is hard to find in today’s politics. In a society teeming with irreconcilable political perspectives, many people have grown frustrated under a system of government that constantly demands compromise. More and more on both the right and the left have come to blame the Constitution for the resulting discord. But the Constitution is not the problem we face; it is the solution. Blending engaging history with lucid analysis, conservative scholar Yuval Levin’s American Covenant recovers the Constitution’s true genius and reveals how it charts a path to repairing America’s fault lines. Uncovering the framers’ sophisticated grasp of political division, Levin showcases the Constitution’s exceptional power to facilitate constructive disagreement, negotiate resolutions to disputes, and forge unity in a fractured society. Clear-eyed about the ways that contemporary politics have malfunctioned, Levin also offers practical solutions for reforming those aspects of the constitutional order that have gone awry. Hopeful, insightful, and rooted in the best of our political tradition, American Covenant celebrates the Constitution’s remarkable power to bind together a diverse society, reassuring us that a less divided future is within our grasp.

Book Synopsis Securing Americas Covenant With God by : Miles Huntley Hodges
Download or read book Securing Americas Covenant With God written by Miles Huntley Hodges and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is part of a three-part series on America as a Covenant Nation. This volume begins with the period in the early 1600s when two very different English societies were established in the New World, one in Virginia and one in New England. The Virginia society simply re-created the rigidly class-based feudal society of the times. The New England society was a most unusual democracy of social equals, covenanted to live under God's-not man's-personal rule. These two American social types would find themselves in rather constant struggle-as Americans found keeping covenant with God to be very difficult because of man's natural tendency to want to control life, including the lives of others. This volume will take the American narrative through the Christian "Great Awakening," the War of Independence, the founding of a new American Republic, the early years of social spread across the continent, a "Second Great Awakening," mounting tensions over the slavery issue, the American Civil War, and finally the period of Reconstruction afterward. This study goes deeply into social, political, and economic dynamics (a study in social power)-but also blends this analysis with an equally deep inquiry into the cultural-spiritual character of American society during these time periods and events.
