Description: Faith and the Founders of the American Republic by Mark David Hall, Daniel L. Dreisbach Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Thirteen essays written by leading scholars explore the impact of a rich variety of religious traditions on the political thought of Americas founders. Publisher Description The role of religion in the founding of America has long been a hotly debated question. Some historians have regarded the views of a few famous founders, such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Thomas Paine, as evidence that the founders were deists who advocated the strict separation of church and state. Popular Christian polemicists, on the other hand, have attempted to show that virtually all of the founders were pious Christians in favorof public support for religion.As the essays in this volume demonstrate, a diverse array of religious traditions informed the political culture of the American founding. Faith andthe Founders of the American Republic includes studies both of minority faiths, such as Islam and Judaism, and of major traditions like Calvinism. It also includes nuanced analysis of specific founders-Quaker fellow-traveler John Dickinson, prominent Baptists Isaac Backus and John Leland, and Theistic Rationalist Gouverneur Morris, among others-with attention to their personal histories, faiths, constitutional philosophies, and views on the relationship between religion and thestate.This volume will be a crucial resource for anyone interested in the place of faith in the founding of the American constitutional republic, from political, religious, historical, and legalperspectives.
