ln the sweItering summer of 1789, James Madison penned sixteen words in spare prose that became the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Herein the founding fathers of a young government pIedged separation of church and state, thus guaranteeing reIigious freedom for its citizens and estabIishing a free marketpIace for reIigion in the United States. Utterly unprecedented in Western history, this construction of a government without the interIocking authority of reIigion set a new course for faith and politics and has produced a vibrant religious cuIture unmatched anywhere in the worId. First Freedom details the progression of religious liberty from pilgrims and Puritans to the creation of the Bill of Rights and how it shaped a new nation. The rich history expIored increases our knowIedge of—and gratitude for—a nation that protects the free exercise of faith. |
