In a world where Christianity is often portrayed by critics as a force for oppression and intolerance, my guest Mark David Hall offers a different perspective.

In this replay episode we discuss his book, Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land: How Christianity Has Advanced Freedom and Equality for All Americans, which details how Christianity has played a significant role in advancing liberty and equality throughout the history of the United States.

We Talk About:
• How critical views such as those of the 1619 Project portray Christianity
• Ways in which the Puritans helped set the stage for representational government
• The role of Christians during the Revolutionary War era
• How Scripture was misused in our history to support the evils of slavery
• The impact of Christians on the abolitionist movement to end slavery
• How followers of Christ should view their role in the public square today

Listen as we discuss Christianity's important contributions to the founding and growth of the American Experiment
