FAITH AND POWER How Religion Built America’s Empire – From Puritan Settlers to Digital Prophets

A German author’s fresh perspective on 400 years of American religious history. Why did American Protestantism produce dynamism and optimism while German Lutheranism leaned toward melancholy? This book reveals how Calvinist values became the „success formula“ of a superpower—and the costs that came with it.
