Why are Americans so willing to relinquish the idea of self-government to an enlarging and ever-encroaching federal government? Why are we relinquishing our property rights? How can we accept imposed limits on our religious freedom? Who should be held responsible for the nation?
The Bible and the Constitution has the answer to these questions and many more perplexing challenges. It is for those who cherish the Constitution and hold self-governance dear. As each generation is less literate in the history and principles of liberty, this book is a daybreak of truth.
This primer on American liberty attests to the vital role of the Bible in American history. The Bible has been our textbook of civil and religious liberty and produced our constitutional government. Primary source documents outlined in this book authenticates the Bible as the major influence on the making of the Constitution.
