Overview
The Bellarmine-Jefferson Legend And The Declaration Of Independence is a book written by David Schley Schaff. The book explores the relationship between the writings of Robert Bellarmine, a Catholic theologian, and Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States. Schaff argues that Bellarmine's ideas on government and natural law influenced Jefferson's thinking, particularly in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. The book also examines the historical context of the time period, including the religious and political tensions between Catholics and Protestants. Schaff's analysis provides a unique perspective on the origins of American democracy and the role of Catholicism in the founding of the United States.
