Hardback. John Compton shows how evangelicals, not New Deal reformers, paved the way for the most important constitutional developments of the twentieth century. Their early-1800s crusade to destroy property that made immorality possible challenged founding-era legal protections of slavery, lotteries, and liquor sales and opened the door to progressivism.

Hardback. Some commentators claim that Anselm's writings contain a second independent "modal ontological argument" for God's existence. A. D.
