derek said : Finished this book this morning -- it's a broad sweep of American history from a religious perspective, with the real goal being to bring clarity to the true intent of the founders in creating the separation of church and state.
It uses the founders' own words, for the most part, and grants some real perspective to an issue as prevalent today as it was then, and will be tomorrow. I strongly recommend this book if answers to any of the following questions interest you:
- Were the founders Christians?
- Is America a Christian nation?
- Is separation of church and state intended to protect the church, the state, or both?
- What is the difference between private and public religion?
- Why are references to "God" so common in American politics, despite the supposed "wall" between church and state?I certainly had some of these questions, and this book brought much clarity to the issue. Highly recommended.

Interesting. I always love a good Kay Graham story. I also like his takes on scorecards and U2.
