As a City on a Hill: The Story of America''s Most Famous Lay Sermon

English

By (author): Daniel T. Rodgers

From a Bancroft Prizewinning historian, the fascinating story of how an obscure Puritan sermon was remade into a founding document of American identity

For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill, John Winthrop warned his fellow Puritans at New Englands founding in 1630. More than three centuries later, Ronald Reagan remade that passage into a timeless celebration of American promise. How were Winthrops long-forgotten words reinvented as a central statement of American identity and exceptionalism? In As a City on a Hill, Daniel Rodgers tells the surprising story of one of the most celebrated documents in the canon of the American idea, revealing how nationalism encourages the invention of timeless texts to straighten out the crooked realities of the past.
