Abstract
This is a book review by Bryan F. Le Beau about the book "God's New Israel: Religious Interpretations of American Destiny" written by Conrad Cherry. "God's New Israel traces the theme of American destiny under God through the major developments in United States history. Most of the documents are from the pens of religious and political leaders. Although Cherry attempts to be inclusive, this version of America's destiny owes its historical development to mainstream Protestantism. As a result, the majority of those represented in this collection are white male Protestants. Also not surprisingly, the women, blacks, and Native Americans Cherry includes (e.g. Frances Willard, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Chief Seattle) are critical of the ideology."
