Copied by the monks in the year 367 of the first Christian
monastery, the Gospels of Thomas, Philip and Truth, were carefully
sealed in ballot boxes and hidden among the rocks, along with other
manuscripts in a place near the modern town of Nag Hammadi in Upper
Nile Valley, where they remained for nearly 1600 years until in
December 1945 were discovered by two Egyptian peasants. At the time
of the establishment of the New Testament canon, these three
gospels were not known by any of the Christian traditions, for
never were mentioned during their lengthy deliberations.
Designed to encourage critical thinking about history, this reader
uses a carefully selected group of primary sources and analytical
essays to allow students to test the interpretations of
distinguished historians and draw their own conclusions about the
history of American foreign policy. This text serves as an
effective educational tool for courses on U.S. foreign policy,
recent U.S. history, or 20th Century U.S. history. Some of the new
literature spotlights cultural relations, and the ways in which
culturally constructed attitudes about class, gender, race, and
national identity have shaped American's perceptions of the world
and subsequently its overseas relationships.
