| New Book By Dr. Farris Challenges Myths of America's Founding | |
| Was the United States truly founded as a Christian nation? A new book by Michael Farris, Chancellor of Patrick Henry College, sheds new light on that notion. While the Church has taught that America was colonized by Christians for the purpose of religious freedom, secularists declare that early American Christians persecuted one other and the Indians until Enlightenment thinkers such as Locke pierced the darkness with their tracts on "freedom." Both views, asserts Dr. Farris in his new book, From Tyndale to Madison, are wrong. "The truth," writes Farris, "is that it was a handful of Christians who believed in the authority of the Bible rather than the authority of the Church who were the true authors of religious liberty." Farris traces the roots of America's founding documents all the way back to William Tyndale's struggle in England in the 1500s to bring the Bible to the common man, or, in Tyndale's words, "cause a boy that driveth the plough to know more of the Scripture than [the clerics]." Exposed to the Gospel for the first time, many new believers questioned the bureaucracy and corruption of established churches and often found themselves the targets of persecution. Farris's research tracks this troubling pattern from England to the first settlers in America, where groups forged like-minded colonies around their own theological views and punished dissenters much like church authorities from the society they had left. ...more | |
