At a Paris workshop on illiberal religion, or “Black Unstateliness” Constance Furey presented work first published in Theologies of American Exceptionalism, on John Winthrop’s now-famous City on a Hill speech.
Theologies of American Exceptionalism is a collection of fifteen interlocking essays reflecting on the vagaries of 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. This volume is the first in a book series titled “Religion and the Human” hosted by the IU Center for Religion and the Human.
