Toward a Renaissance of Israel and America

The American people know hardly anything about the political theology of their Declaration of Independence, and are therefore ignorant of the political philosophy that inspired the Framers of the American Constitution. Similarly, most people in Israel are ignorant of the liberality and magnanimity of the Torah's constitution of government.

Drawing upon his lifelong study of American constitutionalism and availing himself of the political theology of Rabbi Eliyahu Benamozegh (1823 - 1900) Eidelberg finds in the principles of the American founders the unmistakable spirit of Biblical law and statesmanship.
