The Old and the New Israel
Understandings of the new American nation as a “Second Israel,” and a prevalent political discourse devoted to the narratives of the Old Testament, were a distinct trait of the early United States. Indeed, the images and narratives of the Old Testament were as common in the formative decades of the United States, in the words of the great historian Perry Miller, as “the air that the people breathed.” This attachment to the Old Testament, and the …
Seth Perry. Bible Culture and Authority in the Early United States
Bible Culture and Authority in the Early United States is a nuanced and eye-opening study about the ways in which the Bible has functioned in early America. While historians tend to describe the Bible as providing, and operating as, a source of authority, few have observed and analyzed how exactly that authority manifested itself. Seth Perry now offers an intriguing answer to that question: the early American Bible was not a “source” of and for a…
Father of Liberty
Students of revolutionary America might know of Dr. Jonathan Mayhew through the Liberty Fund anthology Political Sermons of the American Founding Era, 1730–1805 (edited by Ellis Sandoz, 1991, vol. 1), in which his 1766 sermon, “The Snare Broken,” is prominent. Wondering why the pastor did not follow up on that harsh damnation of the Stamp Act (1765) they will find out (perhaps through a modest Wikipedia entry) that he died in the same year as the…
American Zion
Written in the Style of Antiquity
Students of early America have overlooked the fact that Americans published numerous pseudo-biblical texts, a practice that peaked from approximately 1770 to 1830. This unique and forgotten tradition of writing "in the style of antiquity" was the product of an age still suffused with the Bible yet at the same time Enlightened as to the liberal use of that book's language, notably for political issues across the ideological spectrum. Employing the…
A Perfect Republic”
Between the United States' declaration of independence and the country's attempt to construct a federal Constitution, a group of New England ministers proclaimed Israel's biblical history an exemplum for their republican and federal aspirations. Tracing this unique interpretive discourse, the essay underscores the importance of political Hebraism to the intellectual history of the early United States
The missing revolution
During much of his prolific career, the late historian Jacob Talmon was preoccupied with revolutionary movements, and was especially unsettled by, and attracted to, the force displayed by the French and Russian Revolutions. The young United States' long and bloody war against the British Empire, followed by the creation of a republican novus ordo seclorum, supposedly fitted Talmon's revolutionary model and narrative. Hence, it is hard to account …

Scott Fitzgerald, The Great GatsbyWhen we look into scores of pamphlets published during American Revolution and early republic by Cato, Brutus, Caesar, Aristeides, Helvidius, Catullus, as well as Determinatus, junius Americanus, Philo Publicus, The Tribune (and many, many more), we ask ourselves: Cato?
