Description

The usage of fears of Catholicism as a mechanism by which to explore the contours of Anglo-American understandings of freedom, Anti-Catholicism in The united states, 1620-1860 reveals the ironic role that anti-Catholicism played in defining and sustaining one of the vital core values of American identity, values that continue to animate our spiritual and political discussions these days. Farrelly explains how that bias helped to shape colonial and antebellum cultural understandings of God, the person, salvation, society, government, law, national identity, and freedom. In so doing, Anti-Catholicism in The united states, 1620-1860 provides latest observers with a framework for working out what is at stake within the debate over the place of Muslims and other non-Christian groups in American society.
