Eric Metaxas says America is at a tipping point, and understanding the nation’s true history has never been more important.
In his new book, “Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World,” Mr. Metaxas explores the American Revolution, the faith of the Founders, and what he describes as the deeply biblical ideas that helped shape America’s experiment in liberty and self-government.
In this conversation with Billy Hallowell on “God, Country, and the American Story,” Mr. Metaxas explains why his research surprised him, why he believes the Christian influence on America’s founding has been minimized, and what figures like George Washington, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and Henry Knox can teach Americans today.
