Unscrolled | Episode 41: Was America Founded on the Bible? with Dr. Daniel Dreisbach

<p>Can you guess the most-cited book in America&#39;s founding-era politics? Hint: it wasn’t Montesquieu. It was Deuteronomy. Historian Daniel Dreisbach joins Unscrolled to reveal just how deeply the Bible shaped the Constitution, from checks and balances to due process and the treason clause. Listen in for a conversation that will challenge what you thought you knew about America’s founding… and maybe even reframe how we think about the roots of self-government. </p><p> </p><ul><li><p>Guest bio:  </p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Dr. Daniel Dreisbach, author and Professor of Justice, Law and Criminology at American University </p></li></ul><p> </p><ul><li><p>Show Notes:  </p></li></ul><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.american.edu/spa/faculty/ddreisb.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>American University Professor of Justice, Law, Criminology &amp; Security</u></a> </p></li></ul><ul><li><p><a href="https://x.com/d3bach?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>Dr. Daniel Dreisbach&#39;s X</u></a> </p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Books - “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Reading-Founding-Fathers-Daniel-Dreisbach/dp/0199987939" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>Reading the Bible with the Founding Fathers</u></a>,” “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Jefferson-Separation-Between-Critical-America/dp/0814719368" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>Thomas Jefferson and the Wall of Separation Between Church and State”</u></a> </p></li></ul><p> </p><ul><li><p>Stay up to date with Museum of the Bible on social media: <br> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/museumofBible/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>@museumofBible</u></a> <br> X: <a href="https://x.com/museumofBible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>@museumofBible</u></a> <br> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/museumofBible/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>museumofBible</u></a> <br> LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/museumofbible/posts/?feedView=all" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>museumofBible</u></a> <br> YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MuseumoftheBible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>@museumoftheBible</u></a> </p></li></ul>
