SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Was America Founded as a Christian Nation?
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for an Evening with Author John Fea. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us and author John Fea for a thought-provoking conversation exploring one of the most enduring and debated questions in American history: Was America founded as a Christian nation? \nDrawing from his book Was America Founded as a Christian Nation?: A Historical Introduction\, Fea examines the topic through a careful historical lens\, moving beyond modern political rhetoric to explore the complex realities of the nation’s founding. Rather than arguing for one side or the other\, Fea invites audiences to engage directly with the historical record\, offering a nuanced perspective grounded in primary sources and scholarship. \nThis free speaker series event will explore the intersections of religion\, democracy\, history\, and national identity\, while encouraging thoughtful dialogue about how we understand America’s past today. Dr. David Krueger of the Dialogue Institute at Temple University will facilitate the conversation. \nAbout the Author \nDr. Fea is a Distinguished Fellow at the Lumen Center and the author or editor of six books\, including Believe Me: The Evangelical Road to Donald Trump and Why Study History?: Reflecting on the Importance of the Past. His work has appeared in publications including The Atlantic\, The Washington Post\, Christianity Today\, and USA Today\, and he has appeared on CNN\, MSNBC\, NPR\, C-SPAN\, and NBC News.
