First line

IN THE BEGINNING, WHEN GOD CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH, ALL the world was a wilderness.

From the rear cover

Forrest Church has given us a great gift---a way to understand the meaning of America in spiritual terms that requires us to acknowledge the Founders' wisdom in permitting us the freedom to worship, or not, according to the dictates of our own conscience. This book shows us why so many Americans for over two centuries have kept their faith in our fundamental principles, in our continuing mission to form a more perfect union; and, in richly diverse ways, in a Divine Creator. --President William J. Clinton

I wish that every American would read and ponder this important book. Forrest Church has become our preeminent preacher of faith and freedom. --George McGovern

The American Creed is a thoughtful and appealing interpretation of the ideals that hold us together as Americans. This is patriotism of the highest quality. --Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.

This marvelous primer accessibly and fairly explores the intersection of freedom and faith in American life. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
