Produktinformationen zu „"And no one will keep that light from shining" “
After September 11, news media reported that U.S. president George W. Bush used overly religious language.
The "theologian in chief" was believed to promote his personal agenda as a born again Christian. This view, which led to many transatlantic misunderstandings, is a striking misinterpretation. In a thorough analysis of Bush's rhetoric, this study shows that his references to God and the idea that America is destined to fulfill God's work on earth, can all be explained through the concept of American civil religion.

Rezension zu „"And no one will keep that light from shining" “
"Janz's study is a marvel. It evidences that George W. Bush's use of religiously symbolic words simply upholds an American tradition going back 200 years to its first president George Washington. As Janz brilliantly analyzed, the only difference is that the world noticed, and reacted, when Bush used such expressive traditional language. That is the real surprise."(JENIK RADON, Columbia University)"This superb study provides an essential contribution to the understanding of the role of Civil Religion in American national identity. The fact that George W. Bush's rhetoric does not show significant evangelical or Christian references is a surprising result that contradicts the dominant discourse in Europe about the former U.S. president."(THOMAS RISSE, Freie Universität Berlin)
