As America approaches its 250th birthday, a large question looms: Is the nation’s story only political or is it deeply spiritual as well? Billy Hallowell speaks with author Cynthia Scott about her book, “Celebrating God, Our Founder at America’s 250th Birthday.” She argues that God’s hand in America’s founding has been overlooked — and in some cases, deliberately minimized.
From the First Continental Congress opening in prayer to the First and Second Great Awakenings that helped shape the nation’s moral framework, Ms. Scott makes the case that biblical principles were foundational to the American experiment. At a time of division and cultural upheaval, she urges Americans to revisit the nation’s origins, seek the truth about its spiritual roots, and consider what it means to preserve the freedoms the Founders fought to secure.
