About Me

My photo
Phil Webster
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Phil Webster and I speak at churches and civic groups about the Christian worldview of the Founding Fathers. While doing my presentations I appear in character as John Jay. I have written a book entitled Can a Chief Justice Love God?: The Life of John Jay (Author House, January 2002). My second book is entitled , "1776 Faith" which is based on reading the 25 volumes of the Letters of the Delegates of the Continental Congress. My research shows me that at least 54 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence are guilty of a Christian worldview (possibly more). To confront the attacks of those who say that the Constitution is godless because it does not mention God, I have written a third book, "Constitutional Faith." The Christian worldview of the signers of the Constitution is shown by their pithiest Christian statements. All 50 states mention God in their state constitutions.

Founders' Challenge

Welcome to 1776Faith. There is a lot of good and also harmful information about the Founding Fathers. Some say they were deists or atheists. some say they were Christian. Fourteen years ago after my father died, I took up this challenge and started reading primary documents of these leaders of the United States at its creation. I encourage you to read the writings of George Washington, John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Jay, Patrick Henry, Samuel Chase, Roger Sherman, William Williams,
Thomas McKean, Francis Hopkinson, John Witherspoon, Lyman Hall, Joseph Hewes, William Samuel Johnson, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, etc. First, please note that there were many voices. Check out the big picture. Secondly, spend the majority of your reading in the primary sources. I am suspect of books written after 1962 (many such books carry the poison of "separation of church and state" which they take to mean "keep any vestage of God and especially Jesus Christ and Christianity out of the public square." Make it an aim to master at least one of the Founders. Enjoy the Founders!
