Böcker av Burton L. Mack

The Myth of Christian Supremacy is the culmination of a lifelong scholarly inquiry into Christian history, religion as a social institution, and the role of myth in the history of religions. Mack shows that Christianity has been an ever-changing mythological engine of social formation, from Roman times to its distinct American expression today.

Deals with the social theory of religion and culture. This study offers a meditation on the public discourse about the "Christian nation" in light of the social situation in the United States and ends with an invitation to rethink the role of religions in constructing a polycultural social democracy.

Deals with Christian mentality, a matter of some consequence for the way we think about our communities, others, and the nation. This book focuses on the social issues under discussion in the United States, a discussion that reveals an uncertainty about the reasons that have been taken for granted in forming our policies and practices as a nation.
