America's Heritage

The Light and the Glory
By Peter Marshall & David Manuel / Baker

From the first cries of "Land! Land!" on the Pinta to the modern age, the authors make their case that America has been afforded a divine destiny. Columbus' view that God was calling him to bear the light of Christ, the Euro-American victory over Metacomet, King Phillip, and the preachers of the Great Awakening are all seen in light of God's plan for His new nation...a new Israel.

At varience with the teachings in many public schools and academic institutions today, the authors present copious amounts of research to support their opinions. Were the Puritans sin-obsessed hypocrites that modern writers depict them? Did they believe they were a new chosen people? And was it God's will for Christians in the Colonies to take up arms against England or was it rebellion? Countering these claims and more, The Light and the Glory presents a uniquely Christian lens through which to view the founding, settling and current state of America. 384 indexed pages, softcover.
