The Enlightenment
Introduction
In a general sense, our nation has had a history of people who are
“God-fearing”. While this does not translate into New Testament
Christians (as most follow the false teaching of man’s origins), it has
created a relatively moral society. The reality that Americans are more
“religious” than for example Europe is easily demonstrated.
However, of the past few decades, the appreciation for at least the idea
and authority of God and the acceptance of the importance of His Word
has waned. Over a series of three articles, we will examine this
question of where this love for God has “gone”. This week, we turn back
the clock a couple hundred years.
