Did America Have a Christian Founding?

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In this engaging book, Mark David Hall revisits the persistent myth that the American founding was a strictly secular, enlightenment project. Among the questions he investigates are: Were the American founders all deists who framed a godless Constitution? Did the founders erect a high wall of separation between church and state, restricting religion’s role in public life? These are not questions merely of academic interest; rather, as Hall shows, they have immediate implications for law and public policy. His insightful, amply documented conclusions will inform the lay historian and seasoned scholar alike.”
