Contents:

Presbyterian empire -- The failure to found a Christian nation -- Confronting the godless government -- Slavery and the sin of secular America -- Rejecting a Christian nation -- Afterward: Holy Scotland in the contemporary Christian America debate.

Summary: The United States was not founded as a Christian nation, since slavery was in the Constitution but Jesus was not. The Covenanters, America's first Christian nationalists and earliest abolitionists, advanced that argument to the Founding Fathers and to generations of Americans. From their brief reign over Scotland to their failed attempts to amend the American Constitution to acknowledge Christ, Covenanters infused themselves into the long tradition of Christian nationalism that forged the modern religious Right. This book examines the forgotten history of America's first Christian nationalists.
