Judaism and Christianity obviously share tenets, texts, and beliefs that have strongly influenced American democracy. In this ambitious book, however, K. Healan Gaston challenges the myth of a monolithic Judeo-Christian America. She demonstrates that the idea is not only a recent and deliberate construct, but also a potentially dangerous one. From the time of its widespread adoption in the 1930s, the ostensible inclusiveness of Judeo-Christian terminology concealed efforts to promote particular conceptions of religion, secularism, and politics. Gaston also shows that this new language, originally rooted in arguments over the nature of democracy that intensified in the early Cold War years, later became a marker in the culture wars that continue today. She argues that the debate on what constituted Judeo-Christian—and American—identity has shaped the country’s religious and political culture much more extensively than previously recognized."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $g Conclusion: $t The Future of Judeo-Christian discourse. $t The genesis of America's Judeo-Christian discourse: $t From Hebraic-Hellenic to Judeo-Christian : the roots of a discourse ; $t A Protestant nation no more : facing religious diversity between the wars ; $t Democracy's tradition : the emergence of a religio-political category, 1931-1942 -- $t Secularism and the Redefinition of Democracy: $t The flowering of a discourse : defending democracy in wartime America, 1942-1945 ; $t From World War to Cold War : Judeo-Christian exceptionalism ascendant, 1945-1950 ; $t Fighting Godless Communism : religion and secularism in Judeo-Christian America, 1950-1955 -- $t From Tri-faith to Multireligious America: $t Secularism Reconsidered : finding exceptionalism's limits, 1955-1965 ; $t Judeo-Christian visions under fire : new patterns of pluralism, 1965-1975 ; $t Multireligious possibilities : Judeo-Christian discourse in a multicultural age -- $g Conclusion: $t The Future of Judeo-Christian discourse. 651 0 $a United States $x Church history $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Religious pluralism $z United States. 650 0 $a Religion and politics $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Christianity and politics $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States $x Religious aspects. 650 7 $a Christianity and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859736 650 7 $a Democracy $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890095 650 7 $a Religion and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093842 650 7 $a Religious pluralism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094200 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Church history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411629 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780226663999 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025611.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20210504100308.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE8FCD12B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
