Providence and the Invention of the United States, 1607-1876
Author: Nicholas Guyatt
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521867887
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
Nicholas Guyatt offers a completely new understanding of a central question in American history: how did Americans come to think that God favored the United States above other nations? Tracing the story of American providentialism, this book uncovers the British roots of American religious nationalism before the American Revolution and the extraordinary struggles of white Americans to reconcile their ideas of national mission with the racial diversity of the early republic. Making sense of previously diffuse debates on manifest destiny, millenarianism, and American mission, Providence and the Invention of the United States explains the origins and development of the idea that God has a special plan for America. This conviction supplied the United States with a powerful sense of national purpose, but it also prevented Americans from clearly understanding events and people that could not easily be fitted into the providential scheme.

New Order of the Ages
Author: Michael Lienesch
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 140085153X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Lienesch shows that what emerged from the period of change was an inconsistent combination of political theories. The mixture of classical republicanism and modern liberalism was institutionalized in the American Constitution and has continued--ambivalent, contradictory, and sometimes flatly paradoxical--to characterize American politics ever since. Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Book Description
Meet Jonathan Gray, a rare book dealer who can't seem to sell any books. The death of his parents has him casting about, trying to uphold the bookselling legacy he inherited from his father as best he can. Meanwhile, his friends aren't doing much better at being adults. The romantic side of things isn't exactly rockstar quality, either. Jon's in trouble. He realizes he needs to grow up, fast, or have his worst fear-alienating all the people close to him-swallow him like a mushroom cloud. Luckily, Jon is presented with a way out. When an old customer shows up with a centuries-old copy of a long-lost and exceedingly puritanical document, the Oath of a Free-man, the hope of a huge sale gives Jon one chance to save the business and redeem himself.
