As both a\u003cbr\u003estimulus of creative American energy and a source of American\u003cbr\u003eself-righteousness, this notion has long served as a motivating\u003cbr\u003enational mythology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGod's New Israel\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of thirty-one readings that trace the theme of American destiny under God through major developments in U.S. history. First published in 1971 and now thoroughly updated to reflect contemporary events, it features the words of such prominent and diverse Americans as Jonathan Edwards, Thomas Jefferson, Brigham Young, Chief Seattle, Abraham Lincoln, Frances Willard, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Ralph Reed, and Rosemary Radford Ruether. Neither a history of American religious denominations nor a history of American theology, this book is instead an illuminating look at how religion has helped shape Americans' understanding of themselves as a people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA collection of 31 readings that trace the theme of American destiny under God through major developments in U.
