America and Christianity has never
.
been so hotly contested as it is
today. September
11, 2001,
and the war on
terrorism have had an almost schismatic
impact on the Church. American Christians
have been forced to ask really hard questions
about the relationship of their faith to poli¬
tics. While some would rather not ask these
questions at all, they are unavoidable for a
religion that seeks to speak to the whole
world, with the expectation of nothing less
than global transformation. Like it or not,
Christians have :o take a stand on the issue
of Americas alleged imperialism, not only
because America is largely a product or the
Christian imagination but also because the
converse is true
—
the growth of Christianity
worldwide is largely shaped by American
values and ideals.
In American Providence, Stephen Webb
makes the case that American Christianity is
not an ow moron. He also makes the case for
a robust doctrine of providence
—
doctrine
that has been frequently neglected by
American theologians due to their reluctance
to claim any special status for the United
States. In th
ovocative and chaJlens
book, Webb goes
riüht
to the heart of this
reluctance bv defend
the
¡dea th,
s
design tor
This book is at once courageous, provocative, and learned. Webb rejuvenates and makes
current arguments that have long been repressed, while respectfully engaging those who
will fiercely disagree. Wherever people think seriously about America, world history,
and the mysterious purposes of God, American Providence will be at the center of a long
overdue debate.
—
The Rev. Richard John Neuhaus, editor-in-chief of First Things
At
а
time when both liberal democracy and worldwide capitalism are derided by so many
thinkers, Webb subjects both ideas to a thoughtful analysis, asking about their dieological
implications and even about their providential relationship to the Christian faith.
American Providence is not a jingoistic celebration of American exceptionalism. It is,
rather, a careful analysis of Americas close relationship to the rhetoric and theology of
divine providence
—
and how such providence may be operative today. Webb is one of die
few dieologians who can consistendy deliver serious and creative thinking together with a
crisp, highly readable style. One can only thank Webb for masterfully tackling a difficult
and yet crucial theological issue.
—Thomas G. Guarino, Professor of Systematic Theology,
Selon Hall
University
Stephen Webb is
а
man on a mission. Frustrated by liberal Christian Know-Nodiingism in
the wake of
9/11,
Webb provides one of the most provocative, trenchant, and perceptive
assessments of the distinctive vocation of the globally dominant, unequivocally capitalist,
and vibrandy Christian nation called America. No tedious academic anti-Americanism
here. Webbs vision is fresh, ambitious, and informed.
—
Russell Reno, Associate Professor of Theological Ethics, Creighton University
In this provocative new book, Stephen Webb sharply challenges the leftist view of religion
and politics, the view held dear by most academics. This is essential reading for all who
want to think theologically and intelligendy about matters of extreme importance for the
role of Christianity in the emerging world order.
—Jerry Walls, Professor, Philosophy of Religion, Asbury Theological Seminary
