It may be argued that the American colonial clergy were the leading influence for American independence. The Protestant Reformation of the authority of Scripture and the priesthood of all believers gave rise to republican governments in lands were the influence of the Reformers took firm hold. In America, the authority of Scripture was often unopposed by church councils or any single church authority. As the influence of the Reformers spread, the role of monarchs was diminished or replaced by republican forms of government, and in the American colonies, ministers were the primary advocates of republican government.

The lives and legacies of stalwart pastors who advocated the principles of biblical republicanism and divinely bestowed inalienable rights are recounted in the pages of this volume. Should America recover its former glory and goodness, it will do so upon the shoulders of the biblical principles advocated throughout her thirteen colonies by her pastors.

Please help us advocate America's glorious heritage...

America's Founding Fathers and the Bible

Contrary to the contemporary mantra that America was birthed as a secular nation, the historical evidence demonstrates that America was founded by Christians who wished to enjoy the liberty to freely express their Christian faith. Lamentably, Christians have forgotten and neglected the Christian heritage bequeathed to them by America's Founding Fathers and have allowed secularists to disparage and deny what was given to them at such a great price. America's Founding Fathers and the Bible briefly describes a portion of America's Christian heRead more...
