Intriguing religious commentary on America/Constitution

A must-read for all serious constitutional scholars, political science majors, American history buffs, religious scholars, and anyone generally interested in the genesis of America.I found this book to be very enlightening and extremely useful in my personal studies of the Constitution. A delightful intellectual feast, it gives the reader a complete view of the sort of religious overtones the Founding Fathers assumed the American people would intrinsically understand, but which have been lost to many. For Latter-Day Saints (lds.org), it is a wonderful feast of knowledge, shedding light on many lesser-known facts about the American continent, the Constitution, and everything which is related to these two subjects.This has moved to the top of my list of ideological books that have a foundation in religion. I highly recommend it to anyone who has any interest in the Constitution and/or America.The best thing about this book is that once you are finished reading it, you will feel as if an entire world of thought which was previously unknown to you has been exposed to the point that it cannot be hid from you any longer. It really has opened my eyes to truths which I had not supposed existed. It really broadens your perspective on the stated subjects. All in all, highly recommended to anyone who bothered to click on the link to read this far.
