"Ben Hart, an outstanding writer, has turned his inquisitive mind to the reexamination of the birth of a the nation, without yielding to current prejudice. That prejudice all but vaporizes the religious axioms on which the country and its though developed. Hart's lucid and exciting book is a shot in the arm for all those curious to know the real story of the rise of freedom and democracy in America."

William F. Buckley, Jr.

"Mr. Hart has written a much-needed corrective to current dogma. He demonstrates that our freedoms, and the morality that sustains them, grew out of religious faith, and makes a strong case for the proposition that democracy without religion is not enough to guarantee liberty. I found Faith and Freedom a powerful and thought-provoking book."

Judge Robert Bork
