"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 favor of 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 and the 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 the state. 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 legal perspectives."--Publisher's
