Updated:

“American Gospel: God, the Founding Fathers, and the Making of a Nation” was written by a former magazine and book editor. However, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham is best known as a historian, having written more than a dozen history books as well as served as a trustee for such institutions as the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Thus, his books delve deeply into the events, writings, and characters that have shaped the United States.

“American Gospel” sets forth a belief that biblical doctrines are the bricks and stones of this country’s foundation.
