A major new biography, illuminating the great mystery of Benjamin Franklin&;s faith Renowned as a printer, scientist, and diplomat, Benjamin Franklin also published more works on religious topics than any other eighteenth-century American layperson. Born to Boston Puritans, by his teenage years Franklin had abandoned the exclusive Christian faith of his family and embraced deism. But Franklin, as a man of faith, was far more complex than the &;thorough deist&; who emerges in his autobiography. As Thomas Kidd reveals, deist writers influenced Franklin&;s beliefs, to be sure, but devout Christians in his life&;including George Whitefield, the era&;s greatest evangelical preacher; his parents; and his beloved sister Jane&;kept him tethered to the Calvinist creed of his Puritan upbringing. Based on rigorous research into Franklin&;s voluminous correspondence, essays, and almanacs, this fresh assessment of a well-known figure unpacks the contradictions and conundrums faith presented in Franklin&;s life.
