Bøger af Ted A. Smith

The book rehabilitates a concept of "divine violence" to reconsider the story of abolitionist John Brown and to develop a vision for a post-secular American politics.

This 2007 book engages contemporary debates about religion and democracy through a cultural history of nineteenth-century revival practice. The book's eschatological angle of vision resists narratives of progress and decline to understand American democracy as both tangled in contradiction and caught up in redemption.
