“Dray captures the genius and ingenuity of Franklin’s scientific

thinking and then does something even more fascinating: He shows

how science shaped his diplomacy, politics, and Enlightenment

philosophy.”

–Walter Isaacson, author of Benjamin Franklin: An American

Life

Today we think of Benjamin Franklin as a founder of American

independence who also dabbled in science. But in Franklin’s day,

the era of Enlightenment, long before he was an eminent statesman,

he was famous for his revolutionary scientific work. Pulitzer Prize

finalist Philip Dray uses the evolution of Franklin’s scientific

curiosity and empirical thinking as a metaphor for America’s

struggle to establish its fundamental values. He recounts how

Franklin unlocked one of the greatest natural mysteries of his day,

the seemingly unknowable powers of lightning and electricity. Rich

in historical detail and based on numerous primary sources,

Stealing God’s Thunder is a fascinating original look at one of our

most beloved and complex founding fathers.
