n nA distinguished professor debunks the assertion that Americas Founders were deists who desired the strict separation of church and state and instead shows that their political ideas were profoundly influenced by their Christian convictions.n nIn 2010, David Mark Hall gave a lecture at the Heritage Foundation entitled Did America Have a Christian Founding? His balanced and thoughtful approach to this controversial question caused a sensation. C-SPAN televised his talk, and an essay based on it has been downloaded more than 300,000 times.n nIn this book, Hall expands upon this essay, making the airtight case that Americas Founders were not deists. He explains why and how the Founders views are absolutely relevant today, showingn n- that they did not create a godless Constitution; n- that even Jefferson and Madison did not want a high wall separating church and state; n- that most Founders believed the government should encourage Christianity; and n- that they embraced a robust understanding of religious liberty for biblical and theological reasons. nThis compelling and utterly persuasive book will convince skeptics and equip believers and conservatives to defend the idea that Christian thought was crucial to the nations founding--and that this benefits all of us, whatever our faith (or lack of faith).n
