Orestes Brownson's thought-provoking thesis on the US government, the Constitution of the United States, and the ultimate destiny of the USA, remains as incisive and intellectually rich today as when it was first published.Combining history with political philosophy, Brownson casts his analytical gaze to the inception of the American nation. Using a wide variety of documents, including those authored by the Founding Fathers prior to and following the creation of the United States, the author attempts to demonstrate how religion and politics are interrelated - in the case of America's founding, both had roles. Writing in the mid-19th century, Orestes Brownson attempts to clarify what the nature of the U.S. government is, and how the Constitution reflects it. Various natural laws, such as those pertaining to the family and human development of civilization, are examined. Part of Brownson's conclusion is the idea religion must continue to play a role in the USA, just as it has since the colonial era.

Author and public intellectual Orestes Augustus Brownson wrote this lively commentary on the history of Christianity as the religion became more established in the United States.The rapid establishment of new churches and congregations upon the frontier was a feature of the westward expansion in North America during the 19th century. Writing in 1836, Brownson offers a vivid history of the religion in the context of its establishment in the USA, his views upon its beliefs and core philosophies, and whether the church of his day accurately reflects the original teachings of Jesus Christ.Written as a narrative from a perspective of a man in search of spiritual fulfillment, New Views of Christianity sees Brownson draw contrasts and distinctions between different denominations and groups who term themselves Christian. He goes on to identify several important areas where religion has historically been influential - education in particular is highlighted as being of great importance.
