"In this concise book, noted historian Carl J. Richard argues that there have been
three worldviews that have dominated American thought - theism, humanism, and skepticism.
Theists put their faith in God, humanists in man, and skeptics have faith in neither
God nor man. Each worldview has had an epoch of domination, leading to the present
"Age of Confusion" in which theists, humanists, and skeptics battle one another for
control of American hearts and minds."--Jacket
