Quotes
“Steven Waldman, a veteran journalist and cofounder of Beliefnet.com, a
religious web site, surveys the convictions and legacy of the founders
clearly and fairly, with a light touch but a careful eye.” New York Times Book Review
“Enlightening…wise
and engaging on many levels…Waldman finds a middle ground between those who think of the Founders as
apostles in powdered wigs and those who assert, equally inaccurately,
that the Founders believed religion had no place in politics.” Newsweek
“[An] engaging, well-researched study…Waldman produces a thoughtful and remarkably balanced account of religion in early America.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Well-wrought, well-written, and well-reasoned—a welcome infusion of calm
good sense into a perennially controversial and relevant subject.” Kirkus Reviews
