Sommario/riassunto

'In Search of the City on a Hill' challenges the widespread assumption that Americans have always used this potent metaphor to define their national identity. It demonstrates that America's 'redeemer myth' owes more to 19th and 20th century reinventions of the Puritans than to the colonists' own conceptions of divine election.
