Hosted by WallBuilders’ founder David Barton, this private tour of America’s Capitol reveals the spiritual significance of the structure’s statues and artwork. This book offers an exclusive look at some of the most notable events in American history and provides information that will enrich self-guided tours of the Capitol.
This was an interesting little book. The writing style isn’t fantastic and the title isn’t completely accurate, but the content is fascinating. A Spiritual Heritage isn’t really a tour of the United States Capitol as much as it’s a history of the Founding Fathers, their Christian beliefs, and where they’re remembered/recognized in the Capitol.
More than anything, this is a brief history of the Christian influence on the founders of the United States. Not only does it include lots of quotes from the founders, it also includes several pages of end notes–literally dozens of references to check the accuracy of the author’s statements.
If you’re interested in the true spiritual influences on the Founding Fathers (were they deists or Christians?), this is an excellent quick reference. (As far as being a tour of the Capitol, that’s very much a minor portion.)
