Christianity and the American Commonwealth

The write-up about Christianity and the American Commonwealth at American Vision is excellent. AV writes such great reviews of their book I am always buying new ones to read!! I will add that this 180 page book is a very quick-interesting-informative read. The author shows the importance of Christianity for exalting a nation, and determining it's character. Christian teachings were the seed-thoughts of our political constitutions. The book contrasts historical examples of other nations that were not Christian. I am so thankful I was born in America instead of one of those countries!! Did you know that in America the State was an outgrowth of the Church? The Christian religion was meant to be the motivation and counselor of the State. America was set up as a Christian nation, constructed by Bible believing people for Christian ends, with the Christian religion the common law of the land (I am currently reading "Sir William Blackstone and the Common Law"). Our school and college systems were creations of Christianity. The founders knew Christianity was not narrow or fettered, but emancipated the mind. They knew a school system created in Christianity closed the door of the jail. So much for our current schools that can not find room for prayer!! The facts in this book show we are a Christian nation but unfortunately we are living during a generation that has forgotten God. The book says the future hope of our republic rests on Christianity so I pray for revival in the land!! We need to quit being ruled by the immoral minority! This 100 year old book has been re-published thanks to American Vision much to the chagrin of the history revisionists. All the more reason to read it.
