Description
"A fresh and exceedingly well-balanced account of religious-political connections in the early republic. It has much to offer for those who debate religious-political connections in the late twentieth century". -- Mark A. Noll, author of Religion and American Politics. "This keenly revisionist analysis enriches our understanding of the period. It deserves a wide readership". -- John B. Boles, author of The Great Revival, 1787-1805.
