The Spirit of America

While many Americans are still casting long glances backward in the wake of the Bicentennial, the fact is that the American revolution is still going on, born again—to borrow a current phrase—into its third century, where it moves in fateful involvement with two other revolutions: the Christian and the Marxist. Our world is dominated exclusively by these three revolutions, and the future of all nations, of all individuals, will be played out in terms of them.

What is at stake is the spirit of America. No one has much difficulty in distinguishing between the spirit of America and the spirit of the Marxist revolution whose success avowedly depends upon defeating the U.S.A., its prime adversary. But major ambiguities have come to weaken our understanding of the spirit of America and to blur the historical relationship between it and Christianity.
