The Founders on Religion: A Book of Quotations
Edited by James H. Hutson
Rating – 5 stars
April 19, 2006

A Handy and Valuable Resource

James H. Hutson has done anyone who writes or speaks about religion a huge favor.  By collecting our founding father’s thoughts on more than 70 religious topics, he has offered insight into the extraordinary minds and convictions of the people who founded this country.

Quotations on the after-life, death of loved ones, divorce, child rearing, reliability of biblical texts, Judaism and Islam are offered from founders who range from pious to unorthodox.

Calling on the usual -- and even some unusual -- suspects Hutson offers quotations that transcend time.  The utterances prove provocative, warm, funny, heartfelt and wise.  Hutson even includes quotations from two founding mothers – Martha Washington and Abigail Adams.

Well-researched, highly-usable and often amusing, this book is a must for history lovers and those who just like to think, write or discuss religion.
