One Nation Under God: A Jewish guide to American Politics and patriotism by Pinchas Taylor
What if America’s political crises aren’t failures of policy, but failures of moral memory?
One Nation Under God: A Jewish Guide to American Politics and Patriotism explores the Jewish ideas that helped shape America’s founding and considers how Torah values can illuminate some of today’s most contentious political and social questions.
From the Hebrew Bible’s influence on the American story to the spiritual roots of political affiliation, the book examines the moral framework behind the American republic. It then applies Torah principles to contemporary debates including abortion, race, capitalism, immigration, climate change, gun control, the war on drugs, and more.
Challenging assumptions on both the left and the right, One Nation Under God concludes with a hopeful path forward, presenting the Seven Laws of Noah as a shared moral framework for a diverse nation.
