Paul S. Boyer Quotes

In A Shipboard Lecture En Route To America, John Winthrop, Massachusetts' First Governor, Called The Soon-to-be-founded Settlement "a City On A Hill," A Model Of God's Ultimate Plan For Humanity. Elaborated By A Succession Of Ministers, This Sense Of Divine Purpose Arose From A Particular Reading Of Sacred History: God Had Chosen The Puritans To Create In America A New Zion, As He Had Once Chosen The Jews In Ancient Times. Sometimes Reformulated In Secular Language, This Deep-seated Belief In America's Unique Role In History Would Long Survive.
