God's Law and Government in America Nathaniel Appleton

From the Introduction, by Joel McDurmon: The three sermons presented in this book exemplify the full-orbed worldview of early American Christianity we need to recover today. They remind us of a time not too far gone in which preachers were highly and broadly educated men who brought biblical worldview to bear in full force to every area of life. In these sermons, we see this especially in regard to the application of biblical law to civil government. As you proceed through these sermons, you will get a glimpse of how all the American liberties we hold dear-religious freedom, freedom of speech, the right to privacy, and more of our Bill of Rights-derived from the application of biblical worldview. Moreover, it was the pulpit that was the medium for teaching these biblical freedoms to the people, and molding and shaping the American Christian soul to love and embrace them passionately. It is not a stretch to say that American freedom was a child of the American pulpit. This new edition is released in the hope that it will inspire today's ministers to return to the example, power, vision, and magnificence shown by the forefathers of our America
