How does viewing the American project through a theological lens
complicate and enrich our understanding of America? Theologies of
American Exceptionalism is a collection of fifteen interlocking
essays reflecting on exceptionalist claims in and about the United
States. Loosely and generatively curious, these essays bring
together a range of historical and contemporary voices, some
familiar and some less so, to stimulate new thought about America.
Thinking theologically allows authors to revisit familiar themes
and events with a new perspective; old and new wounds, enduring
narratives, and the sacrificial violence at the heart of America
are examined while avoiding both the triumphalism of the
exceptional and the temptations of the jeremiad. Thinking
theologically also involves thinking, as Joseph Winters recommends,
with the "unmourned." It allows for an understanding of America as
fundamentally religious in a very specific way. Together these
essays challenge the reader to think America anew.
