Summary
In The Theme Is Freedom, readers will be challenged on nearly every concept they've learned in history classes from elementary school to college: that our liberties stem from secular doctrines; that religious absolutes endanger freedom; and that the Bill of Rights created a "wall of separation" between religion and our public institutions.
