Christianity and the American Commonwealth

Subtitle: The Influence of Christianity in Making This Nation



About the Title: Originally published in 1898, Christianity and the American Commonwealth is one of the best summaries of the impact of Christianity on America. Galloway leaves no historical fact unturned in his demonstration that America was founded as a Christian nation. Furthermore, he proves that without the Gospel and the application of all of God's Word to all of life, civilizations turn despotic and crumble. In a day when Christian leaders call for the abandonment of politics, Galloway's book is a breath of fresh air. In many ways this book was prophetic. He saw what would happen if America rejected her Biblical foundations or if Christians retreated from their engagement in society.

Although written more than 100 years ago, Galloway's arguments are persuasively modern and must be heeded by today's church. There's no doubt that the ACLU will be terrified when this book gets back into popular circulation! Over one hundred images have been added in this newly republished version plus a chapter on the life of Charles Galloway.
