Turning Points in American Church History
American Covenant
Philip Gorski approaches the topic of American Civil Religion as a sociologist of European religion. This unexpected background helps explain the approach of the book, its strengths, and its weaknesses. Gorski describes long-term trends that define how a society thinks about itself, following the lead of his mentor Robert Bellah. In describing those trends, however, Gorski tends to “lump” a variety of thinkers and movements together, to conform t…

It looks to public utterances of Federalist leaders to find that they attempted to hold up the nation as an ideal, but that they a…
