520 3 |a Bercovitch employs John Winthrop?s Model of Christian Charity to describe the American Jeremiad - a sermon that looks to unite an already displaced and insecure people by creating a binary between the ideal social life and its expression in the real. The jeremiad is named after the biblical lamentations of Jeremiah (I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? (Chapter 2, verse 21). Bercovitch begins his examination of the jeremiad in its origin in religious practice but later extends it to include its power as a unifying social force and medium. It is crucial for casual reader as well as historians to understand the jeremiad because of its role in the production and critique of public life. In this seminal piece, Bercovitch juxtaposes the American jeremiad with its European forerunner. On the one hand, the European jeremiad gives a picture of a static society stuck on its mythic roots. On the other hand, the American jeremiad is different because of its focus on progress.
