(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Under God George Washington & the Question of Church & State
by
Tara Ross
Michael Johnston
, March 05, 2008
Ross and Smith make a good case for what might seem obvious: George's public policy utterances were not necessarily inconsistent with the founder's private beliefs. So he was a politician after all? Well!!! Claiming not to be comprehensive in scope, the authors include minutia important only to establish that George was consistent, padding the books length to some extent. Too much is made of repeated references to divine services in the military: That General Washington felt it proper to issue military orders to his officers, commanding the troupes be marched on Sunday's to divine services, says nothing about his private thoughts on the place of religion in government. A valuable reference tool, the book is well organized with extensive notes and exhaustive index.

Portable Atheist Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever
by
Christopher Hitchens
Michael Johnston
, November 13, 2007
This latest contribution to the dialog about religion and anti-theists is a thinking man's delight. Hitchens brings together a wide range of expositions on religion and religious thought, enlivening them with cogent comment and introduction. Read Mark Twain expound on the "creator of the fly' and marvel at the inventiveness of Dawkins' treatise on "Gerin Oil" and the good Doctor's pimping for a new movement "atheists for Jesus".
