The delegates of the Constitutional Convention included many professing Christians, most of which were inclined to the Calvinistic tradition. In his book, A Worthy Company, the late Dr. M. E. Bradford, history professor at the University of Dallas, pointed out that there were 28 Episcopalians, 8 Presbyterians, 7 Congregationalists, 2 Lutherans, 2 Dutch Reformed, 2 Methodists, 2 Roman Catholics, and 3 deists. John Eidsmoe, author of Christianity and the Constitution, concludes that at most 5 ½% of the Constitutional Convention were deists.
