ebooks Playing War: Wargaming and U.S. Navy Preparations for World War II by John M. Lillard PhD in History

Description

Our dangers are of two kinds; those which affect our religion; and those which affect our government. They are; however; so closely allied that they cannot; with propriety; be separated. The foundations which support the interests of Christianity are also necessary to support a free and equal government like our own.... Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown; our present republican forms of government; and all the blessings which flow from them must fall with them. -Rev. Jedidiah Morse; 1799 The author believes Rev. Morse's warning is still applicable today. The basic Biblical principles upon which American civil government were founded are rapidly disappearing in our society. Yet he doesn't simply point out the problem; he also explains how the reinstatement of specific Biblical principles into American society and government can reverse the damage. The foundations can be rebuilt. K. Alan Snyder is a department chair and professor of American history at Southeastern University in Florida.
