The faith of the Founding Fathers has been a polarizing subject, with some books portraying deism as their religion, and others asserting that they espoused orthodox Christian views. Carefully explaining the religious makeup of America at the time, as well as the movements, letters, and documents affiliated with the founding fathers, David Holms provides us with a balanced look at the religious identities of some of the most famous men in our country's history. Looking individually at Franklin, Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe's complex views (as well as the more orthodox Samuel Adams, Elias Boudinot, and John Jay), and as their wives, this is a fascinating, careful look at the evidence for the beliefs of the Founders. 225 pages, hardcover with dust jacket.

Christopher Smart was born in England in 1722. Arriving in London from Cambridge in 1750, he worked in Grub Street – the literal and metaphorical home of the city’s publishers. Rivalries, “paper wars,” and poverty caused Smart to have a mental breakdown and his father-in-law John Newbery (the same Newbery the book award is named after) had him confined in a mental asylum. He was released in 1763 but was arrested for debt in 1770 and died in prison shortly afterwards. During Smart’s illness, he wrote his two best known poems, A Song of David and Jubilate Agno, both of which are modeled on the Old Testament and reflect his new-found religious beliefs. Jubilate Agno (which was not published until 1939) is particularly famous for 74 lines in which Smart celebrates his cat, Jeoffry, his only companion in the asylum.
