Book Reviews of Myths America Lives By
Book Review: A Powerful Work at a Critical Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Why do Americans feel comfortable asserting America's position of moral leadership in the world? Richard T. Hughes attempts to address this question by delving into the underlying beliefs that make up the American identity. Hughes explores several key ages in our history and brings to bear the voices of the majority and minority in each time that shaped how we see ourselves and more importantly, shape how we think God sees America.
The result is a reflective work of engaging analysis into what the forces were that forged our identity and how today these forces still influence our culture. Hughes' book is extremely thorough, well-researched and should stand up to the most critical academic rigor.
Whether you are an American Christian or an American trying to understand American Christianity, this book raises issues of fundamental importance to understanding what our nation is (and is not) and why.
