| Résumé : | In this volume, based on the Jefferson Memorial Lectures at Berkeley, a widely influential teacher-scholar asks why so many American citizens who are also church members “appear to have theologically bifurcated minds.” Professor Mead argues that there have been two competing theologies in American history, the orthodoxies of sectarian Christianity on the one hand, and the philosophy of the Enlightenment — “the religion of the Republic” — on the other. In the author’s view, it is the latter that has proved the viable philosophy in the history of the American Republic. |
