Review
"It is one of the many virtues of Mark David Hall s succinct, lucid monograph that he makes a convincing case for Sherman s significance without falling prey to the whining tone of special pleading that so often taints books examining neglected Founding Fathers...Hall has written an admirable introduction to Roger Sherman's life, political career, and role as a thinking politician...[An] excellent book."--Church History and Religious Culture"Dr. Mark Hall offers a compelling Calvinist narrative to the formation of the American order in his recent political biography, Roger Sherman and the Creation of the American Republic... Hall's political biography of Roger Sherman is an excellent and heartily welcomed addition to this woefully neglected field of research." --Alan R. Crippen II, John Jay Institute "As is, we have a book on Roger Sherman that religious and revolutionary historians should find useful." --Journal of Church and State"A great book about a great but little known American. Professor Hall gracefully explains how one of the Founding Era's best politicians fully integrated his religious faith into a life of pragmatic and effective public service. Why can't more histories be this enjoyable to read?"--William R. Casto, Paul Whitfield Horn University Professor of Law, Texas Tech University"Hardly the 'simple cobbler from Connecticut' portrayed on Broadway in 1776, Roger Sherman emerges from Professor Hall's excellent volume as deeply immersed in both Reformed theology and the practical politics of nation-building. Sherman's contributions to the American founding have been overlooked for too long, and Professor Hall has done a great service to remind us not only of the importance of Sherman himself but also of the Protestant Reformed tradition that he represented."--Donald L. Drakeman, author of Church, State, and Original Intent"While most debates about the constitutional intent of our Founding Fathers focus on Madison, Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson, Mark David Hall expands our intellectual horizons with this detailed examination of the life and thought of Roger Sherman, the most important of the 'forgotten founders.' But Hall's research is more than just a biography of one man; he uses the person of Roger Sherman to reveal the deep-seated culture of Calvinism that influenced the original structure of our nation's government. This book is a must-read for anyone engaged in legal debates about the nature of the U.S. Constitution."--Anthony Gill, author of The Political Origins of Religious Liberty"The best life of Connecticut's foremost Founding Father ever written." --The American Conservative"In this thoughtful, compelling book, Mark David Hall not only demonstrates that Roger Sherman was one of the most influential Founding Fathers, but he also convincingly locates Sherman's politics in the Reformed Christian tradition. Sherman deserves recognition as an indispensable leader of the new American nation, and every student and scholar of the Revolutionary period would profit greatly from reading Hall's treatment of this distinguished Connecticut Patriot."--Thomas S. Kidd, author of Patrick Henry: First Among Patriots"Elegantly written, carefully researched, and downright persuasive...Hall so brilliantly and strenuously challenges the consensus view that we should look forward to this book being banned from public schools across the country...it is a book worth reading."--Library of Law and Liberty"This slim volume should find its way onto many syllabi. Clearly and engagingly written, itis perfect for undergraduates, who also respond enthusastically to the 'forgotten founder' trope. This fine study is recommended not only for students but also for scholars who believe they can understand the founding as a purely secular event." --The Journal of American History

Professor Mark David Hall offers a look at one of the most important of the least known Founders and Framers of the Constitution. The author's approach is NOT biographic (by his own assertion, loc. 230) but rather a careful examination of the influence of Sherman's religion (New Light Congregational) on his political acts. Roger Sherman's resumé is one of the most impressive of the founders. He was the ONLY Founder to sign all four of the Great State Papers of the United States (Continental Association, 1774; Declaration of Independence, 1776; Articles of Confederation, 1777; & U.S. Constitution, 1787). He addressed the Constitutional Convention more times (138) than any but three of the other Delegates (Gouverneur Morris & James Wilson of PA and James Madison of VA) and served on five of its committees, an honor equalled only by Hugh Williamson of NC and exceeded only by Rufus King (6) of MA.Professor Hall's work impressively examines Sherman's religion and its influence on him. The book also explores Sherman's political contributions. Where the book falls short (for this reader at least) is the promised connection, i.e. a clear illustration of HOW (and where) Mr. Sherman's particular brand of religious belief made its way into the Founding Documents. For the purpose of the author's thesis, one could (carefully) stipulate that religion influenced the Founders, or even influenced the drafting of the Great Papers. Notably, Professor Hall's book promised much more: "In this book I contend that the political ideas of many leaders in the founding era are best understood in light of a long tradition of CALVINIST reflection on politics" - but in the end, concludes without living up to the contention. Professor Hall may have set the bar higher than the particulars of Calvinism could support. Separating Calvinist tenants from Diest, or Episcopal, or even Catholic (heaven help us) as they relate to Mr. Sherman's contribution to the Founding Documents proves to be a muddled and unsatisfying distillation, e.g., "Sherman like many of his New England colleagues, was simultaneously an advocate of democracy, state's rights and a stronger national government." (loc. 1435). Or, "Sherman and his Reformed colleagues were part of a tradition that had long held that individuals possess natural rights, that governments should be based on the consent of the people, that civil authority should be limited, and that people have a right to overthrow tyrannical regimes." (loc.1249). But so too did Madison, Jefferson, Pinckney, Carroll, Mason, etc. and no Calvinists, they!The book is worth the read, but recommended to those who's interest in Sherman may be from the religious perspective rather than traditionally biographic. The book can also be appreciated as a rare and welcome offering outside the historical "litany" of: Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Franklin, and THAT is worth congratulations to the author. Professor Hall takes the time to frequently inform the reader of his intention for the book, or chapter, or section, so there is little reason to miss the objectives intended. Frequently, however, the conclusions come off as incomplete, forced, or obscure. In the end you will be better off for the read having learned more of a very important founder, but you may need a more generous perception of accountability, than this reader, to be convinced of Professor Hall's contention. While that assessment is arguable, Professor Hall does convince his readership of Mr. Sherman's deserved importance and undeserved neglect as a one of the Great Founders.-----kindle edition-----A well done e-book containing the proper links to chapters and citations. There is a well populated notes section, an appendix and an index. The index contains page numbers (from its paper book siblings) but is unlinked; easily overcome by the kindle's "highlight-search book" function, which replicates index functionality. There is one illustration - a stilted painting of Sherman by the ungifted portraitist Ralph Earl. The text-to-speech is enabled, but there are no page numbers, the electronic functional equivalent only... the lame "location". No text errors, but William Pierce is confused as "Franklin" Pierce at location 120. e-book publication quality for Publisher Oxford University Press ★★★★☆, good job.
Outstanding! Also, he was my Great, Great, Great Grandfather!
Insightful and illuminating work about the contributions of Roger Sherman to the creation of this great nation. Our current and future leaders would be well served to study the life and thinking of 'Father' Sherman. His insight and wisdom could help us regain the moral authority we have lost through application of Liberal ideology.
We need a new army of black robed lovers of liberty to reignite the great themes of federalist/covenant ideas that founded our republic.
Heard about book on a radio interview with Mark Hall. Ordered it immediately as did some cousins because we are direct descendents of Roger Sherman. Excellent research and writing. Loved finding out detail not in family notes and very proud of our ancester. I thank Prof. Hall for his efforts in the research and having it published so we know vivid detail about our "founding father." I recommend the book to anyone interested in history, especially students.
This is a well written book about one of the most influential forgotten figures of the founding period of our nation. While Jefferson, Madison, and Franklin grabbed more headlines, it was the quiet work of Roger Sherman that helped shape the nation. Sherman was not flashy in his ideas, but rather soundly based in the Reformed Christian tradition, which is sadly forgotten in today's history classes. During the founding era, about half of the population of the colonies considered themselves to be Reformed Christians, yet today we never hear about how their beliefs helped shape the nation. Hall provides a comprehensive list of the Founding Fathers that would have identified themselves as Reformed, and would closely identify with Sherman. And while Hall believes that their Christian beliefs informed their political philosophy, he doesn't over sell the point.Contrary to popular belief, America has Christian roots. All because a few of the Founding Fathers considered themselves deists does not account for the whole. And while it is easy to cherry pick which Founder to quote on issues such as religious liberty, it is important to take a wider survey to more fully understand the great debates during the founding of our Republic.Hall does a fantastic job with this book. I only wish it could have been longer.
