{"product_id":"9780761830658","title":"Visions of Zion : Christianity, Modernization and the American Pursuit of Liberty Progessivism in Rural Nelson and Washington Counties Kentucky","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree decades after the Civil War-amidst a resurgent patriotic fervor, a new Christian Awakening and an enveloping modernization promising heretofore unimagined heights of prosperity and well-being-a new generation of Americans in rural Nelson and Washington Counties, Kentucky, were experiencing what Lincoln in their fathers' war had promised: a new birth of freedom. Before them they saw the ancient vision of Zion, America as the new Promised Land, the Christian Republic, the Shining City on a Hill, shedding its light of prosperity and freedom on all. Their destiny and calling, they had no doubt, was to secure liberty and its blessings for themselves and posterity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis was the Vision and the hope that united them as a people and as a crusading army at home and abroad, inspiring a multitude of social and political reforms and drawing them into the Great War of 1914-1918. It is this story that Visions of Zion tells-of dreams that united and divided, that lifted up and brought low-a story of a drive for everlasting peace that led to war and that finally ends with the collapse of Zion and fading of all those wondrous dreams of a better world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52272845357367,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":406.07,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780761830658-1.jpg?v=1783123855","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780761830658","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
