Trade Review
An excellent resource for understanding the Founders' view of the relationship between religion and liberty. * Religion & Liberty *
The book achieves its purpose. Each essay is concise-in this cas a strength-and provides a snapshot of its subject. -- K. Alan Synder, Regent University * Christian Scholar's Review, Fall 1998 *
A very useful selection of documents from the revolutionary and founding periods, and a powerful reminder of the radical differences between the views on the proper relationship between religion and the public order shared by those who created our political order, and the views ascendent today. -- Richard E. Morgan, Bowdoin College
