America’s 250th is a month away! If you’d like an enlightening read describing the robust faith of the founding fathers and an honest assessment of the few that didn’t have faith, check out Mark David Hall’s book: Did America Have a Christian Founding?: Separating Modern Myth from Historical Truth. Pick up a copy from the book table for $13.
From the book’s description:
He explains why and how the Founders’ views are absolutely relevant today, showing
- that they did not create a “godless” Constitution;
- that even Jefferson and Madison did not want a high wall separating church and state;
- that most Founders believed the government should encourage Christianity; and
- that they embraced a robust understanding of religious liberty for biblical and theological reasons.
This compelling and utterly persuasive book will convince skeptics and equip believers and conservatives to defend the idea that Christian thought was crucial to the nation’s founding.
