Description
The story of Israel in the Bible - and the nation's rebirth in 1948 - has left, and continues to leave, an indelible imprint on the American self-perception. Two Nations Under God traces the origins and contours of how America has drawn its language of liberty from the Holy Land from the Founding Era until today.
