“The Puritan Origins of American Patriotism exhibits a remarkable
breadth and depth of learning and is brimming with insights. One
sees here the work of a seasoned scholar, a person of discernment
and good judgment.”—Robert P. George, Princeton University
*Robert P. George*
"A masterly intellectual history of America."—Barry Shain, Colgate
University
*Barry Shain*
"George McKenna argues that American Puritanism of the seventeenth
century has been important throughout all of American history. He
also wants to bring the Puritans back to life as living
contributors to the parlous political discourse of the contemporary
United States. On both counts—as historical primer and
thought-provoking contemporary commentary—he is successful. This is
a useful as well as an important book."—Mark A. Noll, University of
Notre Dame

“McKenna reminds Americans that their devotion to country runs
deeper than the intellect, and that the Puritan legacy, for better
or worse, continues to feed the wellsprings of American
patriotism.”—Rick Ostrander, John Brown University
*Rick Ostrander*
“Written with narrative verve and investigative authority, George
McKenna’s The Puritan Origins of American Patriotism carefully
traces the interwoven strands of American Puritan thought from the
seventeenth century to the present day.”—Darren Dochuk, Purdue
University
