Richard M. Gamble is professor of history at Hillsdale College, well-versed in theology as well as political history.

Our Review

The Puritans who settled Massachusetts Bay in the 1630s declared their intent to establish “a city on a hill” that would be a uniquely pure society and a beacon to the world. Gamble traces this conception through American history as it has developed into the belief that the U.S. has a special relationship with and a special mission from God to enlighten and reform the world—a heretical religion of Americanism that has been proclaimed by all the Presidents of recent times.
