| Итог: | Reconstruction, spiritualism, and the shape of an argument -- Creating Western civilization at Columbia University -- Challenging Western civilization at Howard University -- Catholic community in the Great Depression -- The anxiety of Christian anticommunism -- Global Christianity and Black freedom -- Cult and countercult -- Civil religion, the religious right, and the fracturing of Christian republicanism. "For many Americans, being Christian is central to their political outlook. Political Christianity is most often associated with the Religious Right, but the Christian faith has actually been a source of deep disagreement about what American society and government should look like. While some identify Christianity with Western civilization and unfettered individualism, others have maintained that Christian principles call for racial equality, international cooperation, and social justice. At once incisive and timely, Christian delves into the intersection of faith and political identity and offers an essential reconsideration of what it means to be Christian in America today." -- |
