A Times book review of Joseph Ellis's book Revolutionary Summer begins:
In his 1783 Farewell Address to the Army, George Washington called the perseverance of the "Armies of the United States" through eight long years of war, "little short of a standing Miracle" and though not a deeply religious man, he thanked the "singular interpositions of Providence" for his troops' survival and ultimate triumph.
It's not accurate to say that Washington was "not a deeply religious man." There's a fine book about our first president's spiritual life called Washington's God by Michael Noval and Jana Novak that sets the record straight.
