Christian America and the Kingdom of God $30.95 “The idea of the United States as a Christian nation is a powerful, seductive, and potentially destructive theme in American life, culture, and politics. Many fundamentalist and evangelical leaders routinely promote this notion, and millions of Americans simply assume the Christian character of the United States. And yet, as Richard T. Hughes reveals in this powerful book, the biblical vision of the “kingdom of God” stands at odds with the values and actions of an American empire that sanctions war instead of peace, promotes dominance and oppression instead of reconciliation, and exalts wealth and power instead of justice for the poor and needy. With conviction and careful consideration, Hughes reviews the myth of Christian America from its earliest history in the founding of the republic to the present day. Extensively analyzing the Old and New Testaments, Hughes provides a solid, scripturally-based explanation of the kingdom of God–a kingdom defined by love, peace, patience, and generosity. Throughout American history, however, this concept has been appropriated by religious and political leaders and distorted into a messianic nationalism that champions the United States as God’s “chosen nation” and bears little resemblance to the teachings of Jesus. Pointing to a systemic biblical and theological illiteracy running rampant in the United States, Hughes investigates the reasons why so many Americans think of the United States as a Christian nation despite the Constitution’s outright prohibition against establishing any national religion by law or coercion. He traces the development of fundamentalist Christianity throughout American history, noting especially the increased power and widespread influence of fundamentalism at the dawn of the twenty-first century, embodied and enacted by the administration of President George W. Bush and America’s reaction to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Timely and provocative, Christian America and the Kingdom of God illuminates the devastating irony of a “Christian America” that so often behaves in unchristian ways.” |
Christian History Of The Constitution
Do you think Americans are too literal, and if so, does that explain the Christian fundamentalist movement?
This is just a theory, but it has occured to me that in reading the histories of some European countries, that American culture is very literal-minded. We are raised to believe that the U.S. Constitution is dogma. This is a written document and arguments are routinely dismissed as being unconstitutional. Yet Europe throws out constitutions and governments all the time, and in fact, half of England’s constitution is unwritten. Which leads to my thesis: Because American culture encourages literalism, there has been a substantial growth in religious fundamentalism in America.
Anyone agree or disagree or have anything else to add?
I think it is true that the US was founded on the written word, so we like to have things spelled out clearly. I don’t see how the unwritten “constitution” of the British could serve the same purpose as a written one. The idea is that we are ruled by laws not aristocrats.
However, another reason Fundamentalism developed more in the US is the fact that so many religious nonconformists had migrated to the US due to intolerance in their homelands. These already individualistic tendencies had a chance to develop and diversify in the US. European countries, even Protestant countries, had strong religious traditional influences, while Fundamentalism mostly rejects tradition and relies on the individual’s reading of the Bible. This approach flourished and still flourishes in a country where individualism is valued and the government stays out of religious matters.
