Whether America was founded as a Christian nation or as a secular
republic is one of the most fiercely debated questions in American
history. Historians Matthew Harris and Thomas Kidd offer an
authoritative examination of the essential documents needed to
understand this debate. The texts included in this volume -
writings and speeches from both well-known and obscure early
American thinkers - show that religion played a prominent yet
fractious role in the era of the American Revolution.

p class="MsoPlainText"At the dawn of the Revolutionary War, America was already a nation of diverse faiths- the First Great Awakening and Enlightenment concepts such as deism and atheism had endowed the colonists with varying and often opposed religious beliefs. Despite their differences, however, Americans found common ground against British tyranny and formed an alliance that would power the American Revolution. In God of Liberty , historian Thomas S. Kidd offers the first comprehensive account of religion's role during this transformative period. A compelling testament to evangelical Christians' crucial contribution to American independence, God of Liberty is also a timely appeal for the same spiritual vitality that gave form to our nation and sustained it through its tumultuous birth.
