A look at the history of political views of the church, their patriotism and their role in the development of American society. Ruthven "charts the remarkable progress from outsiders of the 19th century to 'super-Americans' today, and explains why this American church is now the fastest-growing in the Third World." However, Ruthven adopts a flippant and superior tone, for which he is chastised in later letters to the editor.
