Zusammenfassung:This edited volume of thirteen essays provides brief, well-written insights into the religious beliefs and attitudes of several Americans who played prominent roles in the founding of the United States. Its primary accomplishment is its reiteration of the broad range of religious perspectives that existed in the country at the time of its founding. The book will be of interest to general readers as well as to historians who may have been more inclined to focus on other aspects of the lives of its subjects. As a student of intellectual history, I welcome this new examination of people's beliefs and the role those beliefs played in shaping behavior.
