Does the 21st century nation state of Peru play an essential
role in salvation history? Short answer: Of course not. God loves
Peruvians! But Peru the cultural/political body is not critical to
the plan redemption.
So why do many American Christians suspect that the US, as a nation
(or a cultural dimension of the nation), is a divinely ordained
actor on the stage of cosmic salvation?
The (mistaken) answer is located deep in both church and American
history, and needs to be corrected for the health of both.
