Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Tim Barton of WallBuilders about the Christian roots of America’s founding, the real meaning of separation of church and state, the forgotten role of John Adams, and why modern historians have distorted the story of 1776. They also discuss George Washington, Samuel Adams, George Whitefield, the Boston Massacre, and why America’s liberties cannot be understood apart from the God given rights the founders believed in. Subscribe for clips from The Eric Metaxas Show to hear politics and culture from a Christian perspective.
