American Heritage Series, Vol. 3: The Ideas that Birthed a Nation, Our Biblical Constitution, Is America a Christian Nation? Starring Artist Not Provided (2009)
Discover the forgotten and astonishing story of our nation s founding in The American Heritage Series. For centuries, we were taught a providential view of American history that presented our godly heroes and the moral foundation upon which our nation was built. However, in recent years, a new version of history has censored the core values of our past. From separation of church and state to the civil rights movement, from the heroism of our founding fathers to the building of our nation s monuments, this series will inspire every American to reclaim the godly, true story of our nation. Modern history teaches us that our founding fathers were atheists, agnostics, and deists. Disc 3: The Ideas that Birthed a Nation / Our Biblical Constitution takes a closer look into history and tells us a different story. America s founders were united by their deeply held spiritual beliefs, and those beliefs directly impacted the formation of the new nation. Significantly, the Bible was the source of many of the unique ideas and unprecedented principles laid out in our founding documents, but today we are no longer taught these truths about our founding. Instead, we are taught a revisionist history in which religious faith is absent and God s providential hand is ignored. Learn the true story of America s birthright and our founding fathers in The American Heritage Series. Narrator: David Martin Format: DVD, one disc, episode 3 of 10 Run time: approximately 90 minutes Studio: American Heritage
