Founding Faith

Providence, Politics, And The Birth Of Religious Freedom In America

BY STEVEN WALDMAN

Brief Description:
The author is editor at Beliefnet.com. In this book he vividly describes the very different religious development and beliefs of five Founders, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Washington and Madison and their influence on the first amendment and the idea of separation of church and state. He argues that neither side of the argument has accurately depicted its origins. He sets the record straight, revealing the real history of religious freedom to be dramatic, unexpected, paradoxical, and inspiring.
