Thomas S. Kidd provides a comprehensive examination of Benjamin Franklin’s life, focusing specifically on the complex evolution of his religious beliefs and spiritual identity. By situating Franklin within the intellectual currents of the eighteenth century, this biography reconciles his public persona as a pragmatic statesman with his private, often ambiguous, theological inquiries. The narrative offers a nuanced portrait of a central American figure navigating the tensions between Enlightenment rationalism and traditional faith.
