About the author

David Barton is the Founder and President of WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization that presents America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on our moral, religious and constitutional heritage.

WallBuilders is a name taken from the Old Testament writings of Nehemiah, who led a grassroots movement to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and restore its strength and honor. In the same way, WallBuilders seeks to energize the grassroots today to become involved in strengthening their communities, states, and nation.

David is the author of numerous best-selling books, with the subjects being drawn largely from his massive library of tens of thousands of original writings from the Founding Era. He also addresses well over 400 groups each year.

His exhaustive research has rendered him an expert in historical and constitutional issues and he serves as a consultant to state and federal legislators, has participated in several cases at the Supreme Court, was involved in the development of the History/Social Studies standards for states such as Texas and California, and has helped produce history textbooks now used in schools across the nation.

Reviews

[Ted]

Have you ever wanted to truly understand what the Founders were thinking when they wrote the Federalist Papers, the constitution and the Bill of Rights? Me too. I picked up this book because I hear so often of the "separation of church and state."
This book is widely and thoroughly sourced, and a great resource to help anyone who wants to understand this thorny issue.

[Joe Whitfill]

Excellent reference book for the history of Christianity in the founding of the US from the landing of the Pilgrims to today.
