Hard to find, but definitely worth seeking out

Quoting from the deeply religious John Adams to the dramatic deist Jefferson, God of Our Fathers provides an interesting window into a time when God was much more a part of the cultural vernacular, consciousness, and everyday conversation. There is no way to properly understand the culture at the time of our country's formation without considering the role religion played in the lives of the people. In a clear and user-friendly way, God of Our Fathers presents an important aspect to any study or understanding of the world that the Founding Fathers inhabited.

The Wisdom of the Founders

God of Our Fathers is an excellent compilation of some of the most fascinating writings and statements by the Founding Fathers regarding God, religion, and virtue. This highly-engaging book is clearly the result of meticulous research, and I highly recommend it.
