  • Surge of Piety: Norman Vincent Peale and the Remaking of American Religious Life

    Leo P RibuffoARTICLEJournal of American History2018

    Rev. Norman Vincent Peale is understudied. Since Carol V. R. George's sympathetic biography in 1993 (God's Salesman), Peale has been relegated to brief, largely formulaic treatments in histories of “harmonial religion” (to recall Sydney Ahlstrom's phrase) or of religiously tinged conservative politics. Born in 1898, Peale reached modest prominence in the late 1930s as pastor of the Marble Collegiate Church in New York City, critic of the New Deal…

    Open AccessLeo P RibuffoARTICLEReview of Policy Research2006References: 7

    The White House Conference on Families both exemplified the contested nature of “family policy” since the late nineteenth century and inaugurated the latest phase in the venerable invocation of “family values” as a tactic for political mobilization. In 1976 presidential candidate Jimmy Carter proposed a White House Conference on the American Family in order to shore up support among cultural conservatives, especially Roman Catholics. Four years l…

  • An Empire, Then a Republic

    Leo P RibuffoARTICLEDiplomatic History2001

    When A Republic, Not an Empire appeared in 1999, discussion centered on Pat Buchanan’s contention that the United States should not have entered World War II because neither Nazi Germany nor the Japanese Empire threatened the United States. Not only were important foreign policy questions caricatured in the polemical tumult, but this controversy also obscured the book’s significance as a landmark in the history of the American right. In the post-…

  • What Is Still Living in the Ideas and Example of Williams? A Comment

    Leo P RibuffoARTICLEDiplomatic History2001

    William Appleman Williams was a great historian for three reasons. First, though few of his critics noticed, he did a lot of research – and he was proud of it. Reviewing the sources consulted for The Contours of American History, Williams wrote that he had at least scanned “every page of the proceedings of the national legislature since the First Continental Congress, and [followed] a similar procedure with selected colonial and state records and…
