Defending the Declaration: How the Bible and Christianity Influenced the Writing of the Declaration of Independence

by Gary T. Amos

After ten years of research and four years of writing, Dr. Gary Amos reveals that the evidence from primary sources is underlying the Declaration of Independence is a foundation of Biblical principles and Christian influence. The Bible and Christianity -- not deism and secularism -- were the most important influences on the framers. Amos laments that America's educational system denies or ignores almost all this evidence. Evidence he believes to be undeniable. Visit our website for other books and providencefoundation.com

Reviews

[Mark Mitchell]

This is an outstanding book that gives well researched information that results in exceptional knowledge on the events that lead up to the Declaration and its signing and the difficulties surrounding it. It also educate us on the meaning behind it and how it should be understood. It debunks some myths about the signers that were created in the early 20th century. This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

[Rob]

This is by far one of the best books I've read on the influence of Christianity on the writing of the Declaration of Independence.

[Kenzie Buchan]

Had to read for school, very dense but very compelling and well written.

[Darby]

Quite wordy, incredibly repetitive, and the information and "evidence" is sometimes a stretch.
