Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In This Original And Illuminating Book, Denise A. Spellberg Reveals A Littleknown But Crucial Dimension Of The Story Of American Religious Freedoma Drama In Which Islam Played A Surprising Role. In 1765, Eleven Years Before Composing The Declaration Of Independence, Thomas Jefferson Bought A Quran. This Marked Only The Beginning Of His Lifelong Interest In Islam, And He Would Go On To Acquire Numerous Books On Middle Eastern Languages, History, And Travel, Taking Extensive Notes On Islam As It Relates To English Common Law. Jefferson Sought To Understand Islam Notwithstanding His Personal Disdain For The Faith, A Sentiment Prevalent Among His Protestant Contemporaries In England And America. But Unlike Most Of Them, By 1776 Jefferson Could Imagine Muslims As Future Citizens Of His New Country.Based On Groundbreaking Research, Spellberg Compellingly Recounts How A Handful Of The Founders, Jefferson Foremost Among Them, Drew Upon Enlightenment Ideas About The Toleration Of Muslims (Then Deemed The Ultimate Outsiders In Western Society) To Fashion Out Of What Had Been A Purely Speculative Debate A Practical Foundation For Governance In America. In This Way, Muslims, Who Were Not Even Known To Exist In The Colonies, Became The Imaginary Outer Limit For An Unprecedented, Uniquely American Religious Pluralism That Would Also Encompass The Actual Despised Minorities Of Jews And Catholics. The Rancorous Public Dispute Concerning The Inclusion Of Muslims, For Which Principle Jeffersons Political Foes Would Vilify Him To The End Of His Life, Thus Became Decisive In The Founders Ultimate Judgment Not To Establish A Protestant Nation, As They Might Well Have Done.As Popular Suspicions About Islam Persist And The Numbers Of American Muslim Citizenry Grow Into The Millions, Spellbergs Revelatory Understanding Of This Radical Notion Of The Founders Is More Urgent Than Ever. Thomas Jeffersons Quran Is A Timely Look At The Ideals That Existed At Our Countrys Creation, And Their Fundamental Implications For Our Present And Future.
