John Fea’s excellent blog (http://www.philipvickersfithian.com) directed me to helpful critiques of “Christian America” by Wheaton history professor, Tracy McKenzie. McKenzie’s blog which is new, can be found at: http://faithandamericanhistory.wordpress.com. The two posts address Francis Schaeffer’s misguided take on “Christian America” along with pointing out weaknesses in the wildly popular, The Light and the Glory, by Peter Marshall and David Manuel. The dates for the posts are April 23 and 30.
Good material for growing in one’s understanding of the past and knowing how to live more wisely in the present.
