American Idolatry

A week ago I posted on David Barton's misrepresentation of America's religious history. The Christian Century article that caught my eye can now be viewed online. It's very much worth looking at and reflecting on.

This myth about America's evangelical heritage has been regularly debunked, not just by secularists, but by Evangelical scholars as well. Mark Noll and Nathan Hatch have written careful treatises, and among the best historians of America's religious history are Edwin Gaustad and Martin Marty. To them, we should go, not to Dave Barton.
