American Gospel

Jon Meacham

The American Gospel–literally, the good news about America–is that religion shapes our public life without controlling it.

In this vivid book, New York Times bestselling author Jon Meacham tells the human story of how the Founding Fathers viewed faith, and how they ultimately created a nation in which belief in God is a matter of choice.At a time when our country seems divided by extremism, American Gospel draws on the past to offer a new perspective.
