From Ronald Reagan opening his 1980 presidential campaign by invoking John Winthrop's characterization of America as a chosen nation, a "shining city on a hill," to Bill Clinton's description of his 1992 Democratic convention acceptance speech as "the New Covenant" - a phrase drawn from the words of Jesus at the Last Supper - to George W.
