"A Republic of Righteousness analyzes the debate over the proper connection between religion and life in society that took place in the fifty years after the American Revolution. In a period that witnessed war with Britain, the first outburst of partisan political competition, and the sectarian strife of the Second Great Awakening, the question of religion's public role proved to be hotly contentious. Most scholars have seen this period as a time in which the nation's cultural paradigm shifted from republicanism to liberal individualism. American society was atomized, and earlier authorities and traditions collapsed. Jonathan Sassi challenges this conventional wisdom, finding an essential continuity to the period's public Christianity."--Jacket.
