The Case for America's Christian Heritage (Volumes 1 and 2) (DVD/ Spoken Word)
by Gary DeMar
Product Overview
From Plymouth Rock to the state constitutions and beyond, American history overflows with evidence of the profound role Christianity has played in the founding of our nation. The historical record fully documents the claim that America was founded by Christians to be a biblical city on a hill.
Sadly, however, that record is rarely consulted and often distorted. Academics and media elites dismiss the facts and create their own so they can claim that Americas founding had a secular beginning. Gary DeMar answers skeptical denials of America's Christian heritage as he presents evidence from a broad range of historical sources and lets the record speak for itself. Consider, for example, the following:
- Thomas Jefferson signed official documents In the year of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Benjamin Franklin stood up at the Constitutional Convention and stated that God governs in the affairs of men.
- In 1892, the Supreme Court of the United States declared, This is a Christian nation.
In Volume II, Gary is back defending against popular objections to Americas Christian heritage, and digging through the annals of history to show just how uninformed our critics are.
- What about deism? Weren't most of the founding fathers Enlightenment deists just like the French revolutionaries?
- No matter how many people in America professed Christ during our nation's formative years, none were as important as Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, and Paine, right?
- And so many more!
Our young people are not learning the truth anymore. But with Volume II of The Case for Americas Christian Heritage, you will learn about:
- The differences between right-wing and left-wing Enlightenment philosophy.
- The comparative insignificance of Paine's radicalismwhich was still theistic.
- The over 50 forgotten founding fathers the textbooks never mentiongenuine, Bible-believing Christians like Charles Pinckney, Roger Sherman, John Witherspoon, and Elias Boudinotmany of whom were just as (if not more) influential than the four deists of Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, and Paine always used in secular arguments.
- The true history of the 1st Amendment.
