Description:

The claim that the United States is a Christian nation will be examined from the Puritan settlers through the rise of the religious right in the late twentieth century, with particular emphasis on the notion of covenant and the influence of Christian leaders in various reform movements (abolitionist, temperance, women's suffrage, civil rights). The question of "one nation under God" will be tested against the Lutheran doctrine of the two kingdoms. (Prerequisite: THL100, The Biblical Heritage of Christianity; THL206, New Testament
