Book Review: The Founders' Key



   Dr. Larry Arnn' most recent work The Founders' Key explores the connection between the Declaration of Independence,  the United States Constitution and also how religion ties into it all.

The ringing words of the Declaration of Independence have a way of continuing to ring across the ages. The arrangements of the Constitution have a way of organizing our actions so as to produce certain results, and it has done this more reliably than any governing instrument in the history of man. Connect these arrangements to the beauty of the Declaration, and one has something both inspiring and commanding. The Declaration acquires a practical form and operation that do not seem to come from it alone. The Constitution soars to the elevation of the natural law, and its arrangements are reinforced with that strength.
   A very well-researched piece, Arnn suggests that politics and religion are interconnected and that each make the other greater. He also allows the reader to notice the differences between America's government now, and how the Founders first intended it to be. The impacts of such changes are illustrated in a clear and understandable manner.


You see the same efforts to divide one mighty document from the other in the Progressive movement today. The result: both documents have been weakened, their influence diminished, their meaning obscured. The Founders' Key is a rousing call to rediscover the imporant connection and thereby restore our faith.

In conclusion, Dr. Arnn's message is very relevant to the American audience that is dissatisfied with their current government and their reigning politician's. He pinpoints the strengths of a constitutional government and what these changes can mean for the future. Overall a very interesting and thorough read for those interested in U.S. politics. 5/5
