Liberty Hill Publishing presents a primer on the author of the "Religious Clauses" of the First Amendment.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author Harold M. Knudsen introduces readers to a lesser known player in our nation's history in Fisher Ames Christian Founding Father & Federalist: Framer of Religious Freedom & Greatest Orator of the Early Republic ($33.99, paperback, 9798868507809; $9.99, e-book, 9798868507816).

Knudsen read a newspaper article about the men who participated in writing the Bill of Rights, and realized there was only one name among them he did not recognize: Fisher Ames. This sparked the interest of the history buff, who decided to research the man, and realized that very little has been written about him, but he contributed a vital piece to the First Amendment: the so-called "Religious Clauses".

"My greatest personal interest all my life has been the study of history. Areas I am most interested in are Christian history, European, American, and military. This work has been a fulfillment of blending all of those," said Knudsen.

Harold M. Knudsen hails from Chicago, Illinois. He became an Army officer, serving twenty-five years on active duty, with two combat tours in two wars, achieving the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and retiring in 2011. He has a master's degree from Georgetown, and authored James Longstreet, the Confederate General Who Fought the Next War, published in 2022.

Liberty Hill Publishing, a division of Salem Media Group, is a leader in the print-on-demand, self-publishing industry. Fisher Ames Christian Founding Father & Federalist is available online through amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.
