Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The critically acclaimed work that asks: What was the spiritual vision of the founding fathers-and how can we reclaim it today? Looking at the lives of America's founders-including Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin-scholar and bestselling author Jacob Needleman explores their core of inner beliefs; their religious and spiritual sensibilities; and their individual conception of the purpose of life. The founders, Needleman argues, conceived of an "inner democracy": a continual pursuit of wisdom and self-improvement that would undergird the outer democracy in which we live today. Any understanding of America as a nation of spiritual values will in the years ahead require Needleman's work as a point of reference. Synopsis:Religious scholar and best-selling author Jacob Needleman provides a history of America from an angle never before conceived: how the spiritual ethics of the founders shaped the nation we live in today. Synopsis:Examines how the spiritual beliefs and vision of America's founders shaped the country's history and culture and assesses the influence of the spiritual traditions of African slaves, Native Americans, and early mystical communities on colonial America. Synopsis:Includes bibliographical references (p. [357]-361).
