"Intellectually exciting and socially important, full of energy and exceedingly generative on one of the most important issues of our time."—Jennifer Michael Hecht, author of Doubt: A History

“Mack has done what no one else has dared to: He has drawn the big picture of Christian myth and its out-workings in the social imagination and mentalities of the West down to the contemporary USA.”—Stanley Stowers, Brown University

~Stanley Stowers

"A must for anyone attempting to understand our changing world."—Randall Reed, Appalachian State University

"This book takes its place among the best examples of cultural criticism, exposing what goes without saying in U.S. discourse and practice and daring to imagine a saner society and safer world.”—Merrill P. Miller, University of North Carolina at Pembroke

~Merrill P. Miller

“Mack explores the Christian myth and model of empire, finding it inappropriate for the 21st Century. By deftly painting the big picture of a common-good reconfiguration of American society, he challenges us to re-imagine our future—together.”— Rev. Dr. Natalie K. Houghtby-Haddon, The George Washington University Center for Excellence in Public Leadership
