Book descriptionThe review on Goodreads that comes with this book starts off A leading conservative thinker offers the first in-depth look at the religious life of our countrys greatest founding father, George Washington ... I hope using the word conservative isnt a warning ...because I thought the book was terrific, though it took some discipline to stay with a fairly exhaustive look at Washingtons life of public religious statements, prayers, and letters. Apparently a private man, he and his wife Martha disposed of nearly all their private correspondence, which in turn deprived us many generations later of a private look at our nations first President and First lady, as we have had of John and Abigail Adams.Novak (and somewhere in this his daughter Jana Novak) asks the book-theme question, what is the evidence that Washington was a deist, as he is often portrayed. To do so, he took a thorough plunge into each of Washingtons public utterances about Divine Providence, unearthed what friends and rivals had to say about his character and private life, and what Washington himself wrote to many around him over a variety of life issues, often the loss of children or other loved ones. Those were private letters that were often saved by the recipients.Before the observances themselves, I admired more and more as I read on, how Novak carefully and openly circled round and round Washington, taking his words at face value, not interpreting for Novaks own point of view. Novak did state that he felt he could do this, because one characteristic that others virtually unanimously wrote of Washington was that he was the same person in public and private...Novak rather thoroughly challenges the notion that Washingtons god was the impersonal force that deism embraces, or that he was lukewarm or ambiguous regarding his own convictions. Throughout Washingtons utterances, he portrays Divine Providence as one that intercedes, with clear preferences for freedom, responsibility,though regularly admitting that Providence was inscrutable, not easily understood. As Novak points out, while the nouns used by Washington could be construed as deist, the verbs were most certainly regarding a personal God who takes an active interest in the affairs of humankind. Just one quote as to Washingtons view of God and the nation that was coming into being, Washington held firm to the belief that one of the reasons God created the world is to make free creatures capable of recognizing him, thanking him, and entering into conversation with him.Washington believed that God could not help but be on the side of liberty, and that liberty was the American cause, the just cause, the right cause. Washington did not believe that history always comes out right, but he did believe that Americans did have a chance ...Novak writes in an enlightening way about why Washington might not have wished to speak openly of Christ or God in the Christian terms of today: Our Father, the Savior, the Redeemer, etc. He reviewed the rather stoic language of Anglicans of the time, certainly of their concealment of emotion, in direct contrast to the new wave of Awakened believers (the great evangelical awakening in the mid 1700s), where Baptists and Methodists led the way with new calls for an intimate language revolving around Jesus. Apparently this was new religious language and somewhat tense for the older approaches, so perhaps Washington deliberately chose to use a broad inclusive set of terms that would leave no one out.So thats what the book chews through, about Washingtons prayers during setbacks and victories during the Revolutionary War and the first years of the nation. Novak concludes the book on a personal scale, talking of Washingtons view of Providence as he aged, counseled others in a capacity as elder friend, not the public statesman, and finally his resignation to the happy future awaiting him, when he suddenly fell ill and died within just two days.I liked the research approach, Novaks clear explanations of his conclusions, as well as the context of the times (Ie. the great awakening and its impact on national language). Most of all, he had a non-strident tone throughout, a conversation really with the reader, though with an identified perspective of his own.Washingtons God: Religion, Liberty, and the Father of Our Country by Michael Novak store free djvu information bookshop
