"A significant contribution to the historical account of the role of religion in American politics." --Perspectives on Politics, "Scholars of Puritanism and American 'civil religion' have long recognized the unique -- and uniquely American -- power of the 'jeremiad' to shape a national identity. But despite its undeniable importance and longevity, no one before Andrew Murphy has traced the jeremiad's career over such an enduring span of time. By imaginatively combining historical themes with thorough surveys of a rich variety of sources, this highly original and wonderfully written analysis will be invaluable to anyone interested in the meaning of America." --Harry S. Stout, author of The New England Soul and Upon the Altar of the Nation: A Moral History of the Civil War "A brilliant analysis of the American jeremiad. Andrew Murphy traces the lamentations of decline and the dreams of deliverance that haunt every American generation. Elegant, powerful, hopeful, and wise -- Prodigal Nation is required reading for anyone who wishes to understand the fitful history of the American spirit." --James A. Morone, author of Hellfire Nation and The Democratic Wish "Prodigal Nation is a careful account of how theologies function politically and deserves attention from political scientists, political theologians, American historians, and others interested in the interface of religion and culture."--Religious Studies Review "[A} discerning and important study." --Journal of American History "A significant contribution to the historical account of the role of religion in American politics." --Perspectives on Politics "A wide-ranging and thoughtful meditation on how the theo-political stories we Americans tell ourselves resonate with and sometimes even create the communities we inhabit. This book deserves an honored place among the oeuvre of work by political scientists and historians on the jeremiad."-- Politics and Religion "Murphy offers a careful and discerning analysis of the continuing importance of the jeremiad in American thought and culture, from its colonial origins to the present post-9/11 world. . .

In Prodigal Nation, Andrew Murphy investigates the jeremiad's historical roots and probes the ways in which it continues to illuminate themes and tensions in American social and political life.

- m***4 (1604)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufLeaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
