The Bellarmine-Jefferson Legend and the Declaration of Independence is a historical book written by David Schley Schaff. The book explores the influence of the Jesuit scholar Robert Bellarmine on the political philosophy of Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence. Schaff argues that Bellarmine's ideas about natural law and the rights of individuals played a significant role in shaping Jefferson's thinking and the language of the Declaration. The book also examines the broader context of the Enlightenment and the political and religious debates of the time. Through a careful analysis of primary sources and historical documents, Schaff provides a detailed and compelling account of the intellectual origins of one of the most important documents in American history. The Bellarmine-Jefferson Legend and the Declaration of Independence is a valuable resource for scholars and students of American history, political philosophy, and religious studies.A Paper Read Before The American Society Of Church History December 27, 1926, And Appearing In Volume VIII Of The Society�������s Proceedings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
