Book Discussion: American Scripture

Join us for a discussion of the book American Scripture: Making the Declaration of Independence by Pauline Maier. In American Scripture, Maier shows us the Declaration as both the defining statement of our national identity and the moral standard by which we live as a nation. The book explores everything from the Declaration’s birth in the hard and tortuous struggle by which Americans arrived at Independence to the ways in which, in the nineteenth century, the document itself became sanctified. A hybrid option will be available for those unable to attend in person.
