“I found almost everywhere that the men and women who carved out the ideals of America were driven by the same transcendent questions that had always been my own as well.” With these words, professor of philosophy and religion, Jacob Needleman, begins his landmark book, The American Soul, which takes the reader on a journey toward understanding the deeper purposes of America’s founders as they struggled to launch a new nation. The class will provide an engaging framework in which participants can explore with each other the questions that motivated the Founding Fathers and that drove Jacob Needleman to write this book.
