O knihe
"Jeffry Morrison's brief, excellent new book, John Witherspoon and the Founding of the American Republic, both testifies to and partly redresses the neglect Witherspoon has suffered. Witherspoon was a formidable intellectual and political leader whose role in the affairs of colonial and early republican America deserves wider recognition." - The New Criterion "Professor Morrison's book fills a gap in American political history. It is especially revealing of eighteenth-century views on the interrelationships between education, religion, and society. Morrison presents new insights into the early American understanding of balancing faith, government, and society. It will change our conceptions of this period and provide fresh perspectives on contemporary problems. Everyone interested in the American Founding era is indebted to Morrison for this illuminating book." - Garrett Ward Sheldon, University of Virginia's College at Wise "Jeffry Morrison's fine intellectual biography of the man [is] the first extended study of Witherspoon's political thought ever written.... Morrison focuses his attention on Witherspoon's thinking, especially his political thought, so much of it rooted in his Presbyterian convictions.... Morrison makes a strong, and entirely convincing, case for Witherspoon's neglected importance." - The Weekly Standard"
