Description:Fea offers an even-handed primer on whether America was founded to be a
Christian nation, as many evangelicals assert, or a secular state, as
others contend. He approaches the title's question from a historical
perspective, helping readers see past the emotional rhetoric of today to
the recorded facts of our past. Readers on both sides of the issues
will appreciate that this book occupies a middle ground, noting the good
points and the less-nuanced arguments of both sides and leading us
always back to the primary sources that our shared American history
comprises.
