In Part One, the uses of divine revelation in the Western world are
reviewed by recalling authors that include Euripides, Sophocles,
Aristophanes, Plato, Maimonides, Cervantes, Hobbes, and Milton. The
challenges posed by such monstrosities as Aztec human sacrifices
and the Second World War Holocaust are recalled. In Part Two, the
challenges of religion for and by Americans are examined. Documents
such as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of 1787,
and Presidential Farewell Addresses are recalled. The lives and
thought of eminent Americans are also recalled (including George
Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham
Lincoln). Recalled as well are such movements as that of the
Mormons and that of the "I Am" sect. The implications both for
religious developments and for religious orthodox of modern science
are investigated. The Appendices reinforce these inquiries by
providing reminders of how distinguished commentators and others
have tried to deal with critical questions noticed in the Essays of
this book.
