Reseña del libro "In god we Trust. Or do we? Our Nation Built on a Christian Foundation (en Inglés)"
Description: Out of a deep concern for our nation and its drift away from its Christian roots, Glover Shipp presents powerful proofs that it was founded on faith in God. He begins with the earliest colonial document, the Mayflower Charter, and traces the God theme throughout our history. In doing so, he draws on historical documents, monuments, songs, poems, and statements by well-known figures in our society. Unlike some other books of this kind, In God We Trust . . . or Do We? presents inaugural speeches by many of our presidents, private correspondence by leading figures in our nation, the constitutions of our fifty states, Supreme Court decisions that influence church-state relations, and references to God on our national monuments, in our national hymns, and in our poetry. Above all, Shipp points out the inconsistency between interpretations of The Establishment Clause and what really goes on in government. You will find In God We Trust . . . or Do We? a valuable resource for considering and defending the spiritual principles upon which our nation was founded. About the Contributor(s): Glover Shipp is an elder and Bible teacher (in both English and Spanish) for the Edmond, Oklahoma, Church of Christ. He is the author of many books, including Christianity and Islam: Bridging Two Worlds and The Ten Commandments for Couples. He has taught American History and has studied Constitutional History.
