Book Reviews of Rediscovering God in America: Reflections on the Role of Faith in Our Nation's History
Book Review: A Brief Synopsis of America's Spiritual Heritage
Summary: 4 Stars
Like it or not, America has a spiritual heritage. It's written clearly all over our documents and all over our federal buildings. And yet many are trying to strip that heritage from the history books and from the social fabric of our country. In this book Newt Gingrich refutes the claims that America is and should be secular with photographic evidence to the contrary.
I am a big fan of David Barton . If you've never heard of him and this title interests you, you should look up David also. I bring him up because if you have heard him speak or read his stuff you are going to have a really strong basis of belief for what Mr. Gingrich writes...and likely know much of what is presented. This is good, because there are no footnotes to back up what Gingrich writes. Aside from photographic evidence proving that someone at sometime believed God was a part of this country when they built structures, anything written could be discarded as hearsay to the disbeliever. I think this is the strongest negative I have about this book (which I really did enjoy).
Though the information that Mr. Gingrich put forth is correct to the best of my knowledge, I would have liked for him to take a stronger stance. However his final chapter, and his best chapter of the book, gave a call to action that more than compensated for what was otherwise very neutral on the "religious" aspects.
So, if you're looking for a brief synopsis of religion in America, particularly in regard to her national monuments and federal buildings, this well could be the book for you. If you looking for a book to use in your research papers and in debates defending religion in America...not so much. It is a good, brief, read, but it is far from comprehensive.
