The parallels between the Bible, American history, and modern day American politics are numerous. Once it can be seen that God has always been essential to America, and God has always been necessary to most Americans, we can find more avenues to identify God's roots in American political discourse and political activism, and legal literature. God is foremost necessary in the Bible and that idea was brought forth into the realm of American politics. He means everything and is everything to the characters of Biblical Narrative, and that attitude, although it became less weighted over time in America, was still important to the framers of the US Constitution. Biblical kings and citizens could not see themselves diverting from God's path with freedom or without fear, and in many cases American politicians and citizens face the same issues because Biblical rhetoric of freedom and fear is such an integral part of American culture and legal process. By looking at how different presidents, actions groups, and legal literature reference the Bible, and then delve into the Bible itself to see the similarities and prove the connection, we will see how America's forefathers secured an inclusion of the Biblical God that the majority of the American people would find acceptable, and that still exists today."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:56Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Spector, Stephen"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Reich, Michael"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:56Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:56Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of English."},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"101 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Monograph"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/77581"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2014-12-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:52:56Z (GMT).
