About the Title

View Larger Images   Speaker: Reverend R. J. Rushdoony Format: 37 audio CDs Running Time: 1850+ minutes • Includes 3-ring binder book (131 pp.)

These lectures are the most theologically complete assessment of early American history available, yet retain a clarity and vividness of expression that make them ideal for students. R.J. Rushdoony reveals a foundation of American History of philosophical and theological substance. He describes not just the facts of history, but the leading motives and movements in terms of the thinking of the day. This series extends through 1865, the year that marked the beginning of the secular attempts to rewrite history. There can be no understanding of American History without an understanding of the ideas which undergirded its founding and growth.

Set includes 37 CDs (which includes a bonus lecture CD and a CD of Transcripts for both CD and books), Teacher’s Guide and Student’s Guide.
