I have just begun reading a new book, written by Dr. Michael Farris, that promises within 500 pages — and upon the further authority of 50 pages of end notes, and a 50 page bibliography — to establish with finality that for the existence of our Bill of Rights we are indebted to the personal fortitude and sacrifice of William Tyndale, dethroning, in the process, the widespread claim that, all the great rights and liberties we enjoy as Americans are the bounteous produce of The Enlightenment.

I saw that advertised in the HSLDA magazine. Let us know what you think at the end.

What? This is one of the days my brain isn’t cooperating...small words, simple sentences. I think.

Americans became Americans because they sought freedom of religion, and if that means “Enlightenment,” I have to agree. We’ve come a long way in 300+ years....
