Richard carefully examines the framers' relationship with the Bible to assess the conflicting claims of those who argue that they were Christians founding a Christian nation against those who see them as Deists or modern secularists. Richard argues that it is impossible to understand the Founders without understanding the Biblically infused society that produced them.Religion and politicsUnited StatesHistory18th centuryReligion and stateUnited StatesHistory18th centuryFounding Fathers of the United StatesReligious lifeUnited StatesReligionTo 1800United StatesPolitics and governmentPhilosophyReligion and politicsHistoryReligion and stateHistoryFounding Fathers of the United StatesReligious life.200.973/09033Richard Carl J.1180408MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798196103321The founders and the Bible3787808UNINA
