This was a generalized history on the Constitution; and an explanation as to what exactly the Framers' intent was, when creating a wall of separation between church and state. The authors make a compelling-enough argument, and actually truly seem to believe that a separation between church and state is good for both sides.

Jefferson, of course, looms large in their arguments. His political career is used as a model by which many other politicians are judged; and the authors put a lot of weight into his decisions regarding religion during his term as president.

Overall, this is a pretty decent read. Pick it up if you run into it at the library, or a used book store.

a compact assembly of founding father facts and 18th and 19th century US history. who doesn't like that?

Well thought out, valid points, easy read.
