À propos de cet audio

 A sweeping history of Christianity in America, from the arrival of the first Europeans to the political triumphs of evangelicalism, showing the powerful, singular role the faith has always played in American public life

In the United States today, there is no faith more dominant than Christianity. In Chosen Land, historian Matthew Avery Sutton chronicles Christians’ five-hundred-year endeavor to turn North America into their version of the kingdom of God, revealing the fruitful and dynamic entanglement between the history of America and the history of American Christianity.

In the centuries after Christianity first arrived on American shores, colonizers and colonized from New England to Spanish California practiced many varieties of the faith. After the founding of the United States, the nation’s lack of a state religion forced new and evolving strains of Christianity to battle for potential adherents, as they still do to this day. As American Christianity has bent, fractured, and adapted to changing times, Christian belief has shaped everything from the promise of Manifest Destiny to Ronald Reagan’s approach to the Cold War, the rise of the Southern Lost Cause narrative to the triumphs of the civil rights movement.

A landmark work of narrative synthesis tracing the faith’s major figures and currents, Chosen Land confirms the unique place that American Christianity—always both steadfast and precarious—occupies at the center of our shared history. Amériques Christianisme Histoire États-Unis

Ce que les critiques en disent

“With a sweeping narrative and soaring prose, Matthew Sutton makes a powerful argument that the history of American Christianity is inextricable from the history of America itself. Chosen Land is a must read for anyone concerned about the past, present, and future of the Christian faith in the United States.”—Kevin M. Kruse, author of One Nation Under God
“Matthew Sutton has written a sweeping, riveting history of how Christianity and America have been perilously entwined. Chosen Land shows us how faith has been both a balm and a weapon, a force of unity and division, and how it remains at the very heart of the American story.”—Kate Bowler, New York Times–bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason
“Fast-paced and lucidly written, Chosen Land should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand American religion, and for anyone who wants to understand America.”—Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times–bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne
“No book has ever told us as much as Chosen Land does about the role of religion in the most enduringly Protestant nation in the industrialized world. Not since Martin Marty’s Righteous Empire of more than a half-century ago has a single scholar addressed this topic with the analytic acumen Matthew Sutton brings to the task. Building upon the recent generation’s excellent body of scholarship but speaking always in his own voice, Sutton has given us a comprehensive narrative that promises to define professional and popular discussions of religion and politics in American life for a very long time.”—David A. Hollinger, author of Christianity’s American Fate
“The scope of Chosen Land is breathtaking, spanning the nation’s story from the late 15th century to yesterday, from the political far left to far right, from elite to popular culture, and from outside to inside the worldview of a plethora of distinct Christian traditions. With a pitch-perfect ear for the cadences of ordinary speech, Sutton successfully works within the sonic world of the home as well as the factory, library, and pulpit. Sutton’s main argument—that all of US history can be profitably viewed through the lens of Christianity—is carefully framed and boldly presented. Readers may find some parts more persuasive than others, but that forthrightness adds to the book’s appeal. Chosen Land is sure to rank as one of the premier overviews of the entire history of American Christianity.”—Grant Wacker, author of America’s Pastor
