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

After ten years of research and four years of writing, Dr. Gary Amos reveals that the evidence from primary sources is irrefutable: 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.

"In this scholarly yet easily readable book, Gary Amos exposes the error of the Supreme Court's establishment of secularism as our national religion. Professor Amos demonstrates that America's founding, as exemplified in the Declaration of Independence, was neither secular nor deist, but was rooted in the Christian tradition of the common law. This book is an important and courageous challenge to prevailing misconceptions." --Charles Rice, The School of Law, Notre Dame University
