Synopsis

Uncover the ideas that shaped an nation’s faith and future. This excerpt presents a spirited look at how religion, history, and conscience informed America’s beginnings and its destiny as a land of liberty.

In these passages, the speaker argues that America’s rise was guided by religious motive, courage, and a belief in Providence. It surveys key figures, from the Pilgrim Fathers to early explorers, and notes how faith and moral purpose helped forge a democratic spirit.

- Explore how nature, conscience, and history are treated as sources of divine revelation.
- See how early settlers’ faith and determination are framed as the backbone of American liberty.
- Consider the idea that history offers warnings and lessons for national character and future choices.
- Reflect on the view that religion and public life are deeply intertwined in the nation’s story.

Ideal for readers of history and theology who want a perspective on the spiritual roots of America and how faith intersects with national identity.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Of the multitudes of poets who have in all ages been inspired to teach us the noble in conduct and the pure in thought, few only have deserved the high Latin title of Vatcs, a name which means not a poet only, but also a bard and a seer. And of these are there still fewer who impress us with the sense of something peculiarly sublime in their personality. I ndeed, I hardly know of more than three whom I should name as exercising this magnetic effect on the imagination. Those three, are schylus, Dante, and Milton ;and of these three, neither of the others in so supreme a degree as Dante. Wordsworth, that pure and lofty poet whose soul was akin to Milton sown, has expressed this aspect of Milton scharacter. Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart ;T hou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea, Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free ;S odidst thou travel on lifes common way In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart The lowliest duties on herself did lay. And again, in his Prelude, he calls him, Soul awful, if this world has ever held An awful soul.
