The Founders on Religion: A Book of QuotationsJames H. Hutson Princeton University Press, 10. nov. 2009 - 288 strani What did the founders of America think about religion?

A lively collection of quotations on everything from the relationship between church and state to the status of women, it is the most comprehensive and trustworthy resource available on this timely topic. |
