Beschrijving

Bol Offers an appraisal of two incompatible visions of religious freedom. One is that of George W. Bush and the Christian conservatives who back his policies, the other is that of the Christian majority, who are deeply worried by what they regard as American geopolitical neo- imperialism. This passionately argued book provides the first in-depth investigation of the religious politics of current American neo-conservatism. It shows that behind the neo-imperialism of the White House and George W. Bush lies an apocalyptic vision of the United States's sacred destiny 'at the end of history', a vision that is shared by millions of Americans. Michael Northcott traces the roots of American apocalyptic to Puritan Millennialism and contemporary fundamentalist readings of the Book of Revelation. He suggests that Americans urgently need to recover a critique of Empire of the kind espoused by the founder of Christianity - or else risk becoming idolaters of a new Roman Empire that leads others into servitude.
