Was America founded on biblical principles? As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, Dr. Carlos Campo, President and CEO of Museum of the Bible, joins Dr. Jeff Myers to explore the Bible’s influence on America’s founding, its constitutional principles, and its complicated history.
From the Declaration of Independence and religious liberty to slavery, abolition, and the biblical understanding of human nature, they examine how Scripture helped shape American ideas and institutions. They also discuss the dangers of idealizing America’s Christian past or overlooking Christianity’s historical influence altogether.
Discover what 250 years of American history can teach us about bringing biblical truth into the public square while remembering that our ultimate allegiance belongs to Jesus and his Kingdom.
