Professor David Holmes offers a balanced and dispassionate introduction to this debate. Andrew Atherstone, Themelios [Holmes] offers exceptionally insightful guidelines for judging the faith of the founding fathers...Read this elegant book... New York Times Book Review THE FAITHS OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS comes to the rescue of those trying to square the past with the present. David L. Holmes has written a timely book that summarizes the views of the Founders and places them in proper historical context... While the author believes that the founders' theological beliefs contain valuable lessons for contemporary society, he cautions against going too far when trying to place 18th-century views and practices into a modern context. That is why THE FAITHS OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS should be seen as a first-rate guide to the past and not as fodder for those fighting modern-day political battles.
