America’s Founding Fathers and the Bible: A Select Study on America’s
Christian Origin by Stephen A. Flick, Ph.D.
shares America’s rich biblical history and Christian heritage. Focusing on the
American Revolution and afterwards, the author writes that America was founded
on Christian principles and biblical practices that our Founding Fathers instituted,
stemming from the formation of our government and the Continental Congress.
Unwaveringly the author also reveals contrary claims by secularists and
irreligionists that America was founded and “arose from the barrenness of
secularism,” give way to an intriguing book that gives insight into America’s
beginnings, formation as a nation and the underlying Christian legacy of
America as a nation.
Divided into three sections: The
Continental Congress and the Bible, Three
Founding Fathers on the Bible, After the American Revolution, Conclusion:
American Renaissance and coupled with three
Reading Sections - Defense of the
use of the Bible as a SchoolBook, President of Congress Starts Bible Society
& By the Bible or By the Bayonet, the
author sheds light on the legacy of freedom, commitment to the Christian faith
and the Bible, that helps readers understand and presents a brief glimpse into
the motivations and truths from which our Founding Fathers relied upon.
With this
perspective in mind, this book also provides viewpoints propagated from
American Academia, jurisprudence and other disciplines that seem to ignore the
facts. Further giving an overview of the initial thirteen colonies that sparked
America’s growth and the first decrees of fasts and thanksgivings originally
declared, coupled with the ensuing American Revolution, the author shows that
America is a country that is nationally based upon the Bible. As the author
states, “Rather, both private and public writings overwhelmingly
demonstrate that America's Founding Fathers intended and did establish American
government upon biblical principles and practices.”
This simple, yet historically accurate read comes highly recommended to all Americans, Patriots, Christians, college students and to the general public that serves as a reminder to get back to the foundational principles our country was founded on. Knowing your heritage and history is important and this book presents a keen understanding of “how” our great nation came to be. Concise and to the point, factual information presents and relates the importance of the Christian faith and the Bible in America. History’s past can be confusing, yet this book is one of those books every American should read, know and understand. It is our privilege, duty and honor to take a stand for what was so costly – our freedom.
