In the lauded Faith of the Founders; revered historian Edwin Gaustad provides a careful consideration of the developing relationship between religion and the state after the American Revolution. With concise focus on Thomas Jefferson; James Madison; Benjamin Franklin; George Washington; and John Adams; Gaustad identifies seven varying―sometimes contrary―perspectives on religion that guided the nation's founders. Faith of the Founders masterfully shows how these figures possessed an intuitive understanding of religion that helped nourish a young country. Repackaged for a new generation of readers and with a new foreword by Randall Balmer; this brief but insightful book offers a look into the founding fathers' genius―and points to a way forward through the ideological boundaries that threaten to upend the daily doings of American government today.

This book so far is so enlightening. I am beginning to understand; about creation. Pieces of the puzzle seem to be falling into place. Everything is explained so well;that I feel as if a door is opening for me.It is perhaps a doorway to self realization. I can look at people and know that we are one; and honor everyone I meet. I definitely recommend this book for everyone. When I bought the book; I thought it was only an account of the lives of Prophets and Messengers; but it is certainly much more.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
