I know he takes a rather radically separationist position regarding church and politics, which is in line with Anabaptist views. <br /><br />Brian, the title is: Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? The thesis is -- depends on what you mean by Christian, founded, nation. It's an excellent read == recommend it highly. You'll find an Amazon link in the article!Robert Cornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04581876323110725024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-20695178798364379502011-05-10T13:39:13.919-04:002011-05-10T13:39:13.919-04:00It is probably right under my nose, but I'm no...It is probably right under my nose, but I'm not finding the title of this author's book. <br /><br />What's the author's thesis?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396901667077846319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-47188898824739532522011-05-10T11:03:23.614-04:002011-05-10T11:03:23.614-04:00I am really enjoying your blog, Dr. Cornwall.

Another thought that I keep having is I wonder what the Native Americans thought of Christ as we were founding a new empire in his name via their genocide?Joel Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398253755353546402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-21478799648440825632011-05-10T09:49:23.595-04:002011-05-10T09:49:23.595-04:00I doubt that very many Americans today care whethe...I doubt that very many Americans today care whether America was founded as a Christian nation. Mr. Barton might be correct in his understanding of the past, but times have changed (and not for the better). Most Americans now are not Christians, and do not have a world-view that is Christian. And, in my opinion, which is informed by the Bible, this non-Christian majority will continue to set national policy until Jesus Christ returns to the earth, at which time he will set policy for the entire world.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574147787996161877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-43994632563346264002011-05-10T09:47:48.692-04:002011-05-10T09:47:48.692-04:00Great commentary, Pastor Bob.
