Robert Bolt discusses Theodore Roosevelt’s religious life and notes that Roosevelt remained committed to the Dutch Reformed Church throughout his life despite his father’s ties to the Presbyterian Church and his wife’s membership in the Episcopal Church. Bolt also examines some of Roosevelt’s other religious beliefs and practices, such as his adherence to regular Sunday church attendance, reading the Bible, and doing good works.
