This book by Marvin Olasky is a historically slanted book. In examining "liberty and virtue" in the revolutionary era Mr Olasky allows his religious bias to show through. He neglects to mention Thomas Jefferson, mentions James Madison once or twice, forgets Thomas Paine, and accuses Benjamin Franklin of being a Satanist in London! Olasky instead concentrates on the more conservative proponents of the Revolution, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Patrick Henry,etc. Now all were great and worhty men, but Olasky is attempting to down play the more radical revolutionaries by neglecting to mention them. The book has a " christian nation" theme with the Founders portrayed as devout christians, even though many were deists. It is a book cut for the religious right and their agenda, but not for accuarate history.
