Description

This book traces the religious life of the nation from the time of the Revolution to the deaths of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. In his portraits of Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Washington, and Adams, Gaustad carefully considers the developing relationship between church and state in America. Gaustad also follows the trial of diverse religious ideas and communities, as well as chronicling the religious dimensions of daily life for ordinary Americans.
