The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States
Benjamin F. Morris (Reprint by American Vision)

I bought this book when it came out in 2007 because I read what Gary had to say below. It has been pushed to the back of my reading list and I am wondering if anyone has read it and can comment on the book before I decide to spend the time to read it.

The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the U.S.

About the Title: "I was debating an ACLU attorney at Christmas on an NPR station. I pulled out a Xerox copy of The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States and said to her: 'Until you answer this book, the ACLU can't make a case against America's Christian founding.' She was shocked when she saw it. She asked where I had gotten it. The only thing that gave her relief was the fact that the book was not in print. But now it is."

Be afraid ACLU. Be very afraid. Morris packs The Christian Life and Character with page after page of original source material making the case that America was founded as a Christian nation. The evidence is unanswerable and irrefutable. This 1000-page book will astound you and send enemies of Christianity into shock. Keep in mind that it was published in 1864 and has been out of print for more than a century. It has been newly typeset using a very readable font and added subheads. A new Foreword written by my long-time friend Dr. Archie Jones describes the background of the book and provides a brief biography of the author. —Gary DeMar

Benjamin Franklin Morris' book has been out of print for more than 100 years. If you can find an original copy, it's only because you have looked in the deep recesses of university libraries where the volume is probably collecting dust on dimly lit library shelves. Organizations like the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State have done their best to ignore the content of the massive compilation of original source material found in this book. If Americans ever become aware of the content assembled by the author, the arguments for a secular founding of America will turn to dust.

Reprinted for the first time in over 140 years in 2007, this book has already been through it's seventh printing. Don't miss out on the fantastic wealth of information this book has in store! Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States could very well be responsible for rediscovering the truth of America's Christian foundation.

Never heard of it, but it sounds interesting. I highly recommend this book:
Leviticus vs. Leviathan: Choosing Our Sovereign by Wayne Holstad J.D.

I have not read the book. However, I wouldn't trust it very much just based on the write-up you posted. If the USA was founded as a "Christian nation" the founders did an excellent job of hiding it and forgetting to mention it in the constitution! The earlier Covenanting fathers were more observant in my opinion when they recognized that the constitution is intentionally non-Christian. :2cents:
