{"product_id":"9780812976663","title":"American Gospel : God, the Founding Fathers, and the Making of a Nation","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor Meacham tells the human story of how the Founding Fathers viewed faith, and how they ultimately created a nation in which belief in God is a matter of choice. At a time when our country seems divided by extremism, this book draws on the past to offer a new perspective. Meacham re-creates the history of a nation grappling with religion and politics--from John Winthrop's \"city on a hill\" sermon to Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence; from a proposed nineteenth-century Christian Amendment to the Constitution to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s call for civil rights; from George Washington to Ronald Reagan. At the heart of the American experiment lies what Benjamin Franklin called \"public religion,\" a God who invests all human beings with inalienable rights while protecting private religion from government interference. It is a great American balancing act, and it has served us well.--From publisher description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House USA Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45695216025679,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":805.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9780812976663-1.jpg?v=1784960754","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/en\/products\/9780812976663","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
