- Religion and the American Nation (NCC-Grass Valley)
-
Instructor: Maxwell Pingeon
Dates: 4/2/2026 - 5/7/2026
Days: Th
Times: 3:00 PM - 4:50 PM
Sessions: 6
Fee: $0.00
Location: Nevada County Campus
Building-Room: N15-100
Seats Available: 24 | Max Enroll: 26
CRN: 43584
This class explores the role of religion in shaping American politics and national identity from the colonial period to the present. The United States is rare among modern nations in its enduring reliance on religious language to define national purpose, with theological frameworks providing many of the basic assumptions underlying American notions of politics, power, and belonging. Beginning with Puritan covenant theology and ending with contemporary Christian nationalism, we examine how religious actors constructed the dominant narratives of America as a redeemer nation with a special role to play on the world stage. Through close reading of sermons, speeches, theological writings, and political rhetoric, we analyze how these narratives draw on literary forms like the jeremiad, prophecy, and apocalyptic vision. We also examine how those narratives of chosenness were contested over time by marginalized communities offering alternative visions rooted in different theological traditions and experiences of exclusion. Students will learn to identify the rhetorical strategies used to sacralize political power and to recognize how these contests over American identity continue to shape our present.
*Class Dates: 4/2, 4/9, 4/16, 4/23, 4/30, & 5/7.
