We will conclude our study of Nature’s God: The Heretical Origins of the American Republic by Matthew Stewart
Stewart has written a compelling history of the founding of our nation that includes quite a few stories your teacher never told you and is also a history of ideas that shaped our nation.
It serves to refute a frequent claim heard nowadays that our nation was founded as a “Christian nation.”
This Sunday we finish our discussion of Chapter 7 — “The Empire of Reason.”
You are welcome to join the class at any time, whether or not you are reading the book. If you choose to order either the hard copy or Kindle version through Amazon, please remember to go through the Amazon window on the All Souls website.
