Dr. Stout is a professor at Yale University and one of the leaders of a quietly growing number of scholars who...have begun to find a religious consciousness and motive at the center of the American Revolution.

I find this odd. Maybe it's a new generation of academics just discovering this for the first time, but the influence of God and religion on the founding and revolution has been widely written about for a long time. There are many scholarly books on this subject.

Perhaps the past generation or two of academics just sought to write God out of the revolution.

This is hardly news to students of the revolution.

Whoops, I didn’t realize this was a 1987 review! Forget what I wrote.

Too bad somebody couldn’t “rediscover” this in 2019 and teach it in the schools. It’s interesting that his students in 1987 had not been exposed to the role of religion in the revolution.
