review 1: Really well put together, though a few times it did feel more academic than I really wanted it to feel. John Leland is one of my new heroes. Seriously, he was awesome and we need to highlight him more. I want to put this book, but especially the chapter on Leland, in the hands of all of the "America is a Christian nation"-ites I can.My only big desire would have been for the endnotes to have been at the end of each chapter. I love reading background information that's contained in notes, but it was impossible to do with the endnotes without getting bogged down.
review 2: This book is both fascinating and necessary, giving our present day twin obsessions with misinformation about Islam, and mythologizing the founders of the nation an opportunity to be aired in t... moreandem. what Spellberg has done here is provide an engaging and enlightening context for a simple but profound and overlooked truth: Islam is no stranger to the US, and has been post of our dialogs on policy and culture almost since before the founding of the nation. For anyone who has an interest in Jefferson, in the relationship between the United States and the middle East, and in understanding how Islam and american faith have been hand in hand helping to guide the growth of this nation for centuries, this is a book to read. less
