Denis Lacorne identifies two competing narratives defining the American identity. The first narrative, derived from the philosophy of the Enlightenment, is essentially secular. Associated with the Founding Fathers and reflected in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Federalist Papers, this line of reasoning is predicated on separating religion from politics to preserve political freedom from an overpowering church. Prominent thinkers such as Voltaire, Thomas Paine, and Jean-Nicolas Démeunier, who viewed the American project as a radical attempt to create a new regime free from religion and the weight of ancient history, embraced this American effort to establish a genuine "wall of separation" between church and state. The second narrative is based on the premise that religion is a fundamental part of the American identity and emphasizes the importance of the original settlement of America by New England Puritans. This alternative vision was elaborated by Whig politicians and Romantic historians in the first half of the nineteenth century. It is still shared by modern political scientists such as Samuel Huntington. These thinkers insist America possesses a core, stable "Creed" mixing Protestant and republican values. Lacorne outlines the role of religion in the making of these narratives and examines, against this backdrop, how key historians, philosophers, novelists, and intellectuals situate religion in American politics.

Europäischen Beobachtern erscheinen die USA vertraut und fremd zugleich. Seit langem sind Coca-Cola, Hamburger und MTV zu einem festen Bestandteil unserer Kultur geworden. Auf betende amerikanische Präsidenten dagegen reagieren Europäer zumeist irritiert. Spätestens seit den jüngsten politischen Ereignissen wird offensichtlich, welche herausgehobenen Bedeutung der Religion in den USA zukommt. 13 Fachleute aus Deutschland und den USA beleuchten die verschiedenen Aspekte des komplexen, ja schillernden Verhältnisses von Politik und Religion in den USA. Welche Themen bewegen Juden und Katholiken, Evangelikale und schwarze Christen in den USA? Welche Organisationen greifen ihre religiös motivierten politischen Forderungen auf und welchen Erfolg haben ihre Lobby-Aktivitäten? Ist der amerikanische Präsident in seinen außenpolitischen Entscheidungen autonom oder muss er Rücksicht nehmen auf die Wünsche seiner evangelikal-fundamentalistischen, jüdischen oder katholischen Stammwählerklientel? Auf diese und eine Vielzahl anderer politisch relevanter Fragen geben die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes eine Antwort. Mit Beiträgen von Allison Calhoun-Brown, Manfred Berg, Manfred Brocker, Dietmar Herz, Detlef Junker, Daniel Goldberg, Antonius Liedhegener, Peter Lösche, Martin Marty, David R. Mayhew, Michael Minkenberg, Martin Riesebrodt und Clyde Wilcox.

Despite shifting trends in the study of Oceanic Atlantic history, the colonial Atlantic world as it is described by historians today continues to be a largely English-only space; even when other language communities are examined, they, too, are considered to be monolingual and discrete. Babel of the Atlantic pushes back against this monolingual fallacy by documenting multilingualism, translation, and fluid movement across linguistic borders. Focusing on Philadelphia and surrounding areas that include Germantown, Bethlehem, and the so-called Indian country to the west, this volume demonstrates the importance of viewing inhabitants not as members of isolated language communities, whether English, German, Lenape, Mohican, or others, but as creators of a vibrant zone of mixed languages and shifting politics. Organized around four themes—religion, education, race and abolitionism, and material culture and architecture—and drawing from archives such as almanacs, newspapers, and the material world, the chapters in this volume show how polyglot, tolerant, and multilingual spaces encouraged diverse peoples to coexist. Contributors examine subjects such as the multicultural Moravian communities in colonial Pennsylvania, the Charity School movement of the 1750s, and the activities of Quaker abolitionists, showing how educational and religious movements addressed and embraced cultural and linguistic variety. Drawing early American scholarship beyond the normative narrative of monolingualism, this volume will be invaluable to historians and sociolinguists whose work focuses on Pennsylvania and colonial, revolutionary, and antebellum America. In addition to the editor, the contributors include Craig Atwood, Patrick M. Erben, Cynthia G. Falk, Katherine Faull, Wolfgang Flügel, Katharine Gerbner, Maruice Jackson, Lisa Minardi, Jürgen Overhoff, and Birte Pfleger.
