Augusto Zimmerman has just published a very solid piece of jurisprudence, Christian Foundations of the Common Law, Volume 2, The United States, (Connor Court Publishing, 2018). It is excellent that in these dark and degenerate times, there are still scholars, and publishers investigating the Christian traditions that gave us the modern world, and the liberties that unfortunately are disappearing by the day. But, unless we have some idea of that the truth is, we will live forever in a world of unending error.
The book covers a vast array of American historical material, which may not be necessary to summarise for our readership, since the fundamental argument would be accepted by most of us. The textual evidence from the writings of the American founding Fathers, such as Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Adams, indicates that Christian faith motivated these men to do what they did and write what they wrote. A good example to take here is Thomas Jefferson, whom the atheists claim as one of their own. But, Jefferson was not opposed to the belief in God, but only to the establishment of a national church, being committed to individual liberty. It is shown that Jefferson was in fact a Christian, and not an atheist.
