Reviews

'... a bold intellectual roadmap to reclaiming civic friendship and a functioning republican Constitution.' Bradley C. S. Watson, The University Bookman '... [the] book is testament to America's deep roots in classical and Christian thinking. Let's hope its publication is a catalyst to a broad renewal of a more historically grounded and philosophically accurate interpretation of the American founding and American politics.' Luke C. Sheahan, The University Bookman 'Readers of the book will reconsider many of the now conventional claims about the origin and purpose of the American regime ... Highly recommended.' D. P. Ramsey, Choice 'This exceptionally learned, bold, and courageous book is a perfect tract for our times.' Stephen B. Presser, The University Bookman 'This is an important work contesting simplistic views of the founding from secular liberals who embrace it and religious integralists who oppose it. It is also a very serious engagement with classical Christian metaphysics. For those unfamiliar with classical theism, natural law, and the theology of being, there is much faithful exposition and metaphysical sophistication here. This work is a history of the political philosophy of the American founding that satisfies the theologian.' James R. Wood, Religious Studies Review
