Fire At The Founding documents the historical climax of the good and great influence of the Judeo-Christian faith upon a nation through the clergy in America during the 1700s. They boldly proclaimed Biblical truth and principles on any matter of public and national concern to their congregations, the public, and government officials and legislators. They built within the American people the essential foundations for liberty: true religion, righteousness, morality, a culture of life, respect for authority and the rule of law, and just and limited civil government. The book documents, in their own words, the fire within the clergy that ignited a fire for truth and liberty within the American people. This book is based primarily on original research done at the U.S. Library of Congress, particularly the Rare Book Room. It is built around clergy quotes – gold nuggets of wisdom – hidden from our society for generations, but now made known to us and future generations.
