Podcast with John Eidsmoe on Founding Father Roger Sherman

Topic: Meet Founding Father Roger Sherman.

When it comes to our nation’s founding fathers, there were only three men who signed all three of our key founding documents, that is, the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Articles of Confederation, which went into effect in 1781 and was a key forerunner to the Constitution, and the U.S. Constitution, which was signed 1787. One of only three men who signed all three of these documents was Roger Sherman, a delegate from Connecticut. John Eidsmoe, a law professor, is the author of the book, Christianity and the Constitution, which has various profiles of key founding fathers with an assessment of their faith. For example, there is a whole chapter on Roger Sherman, a virtually forgotten founding father. John Eidsmoe joins Jerry Newcombe to discuss who Roger Sherman is and his amazing contributions to our Constitution. www.morallaw.org
