Description
The title of the book – Covenant & Crisis in American History – provides an
important guidepost as you navigate the historical highway. Our focus will be on how
successive generations of Americans have responded to the national covenant with God
established by the original colonists. We learn from Scripture that God operates by
covenant in history, blessing obedience to the terms of His covenant and cursing
disobedience (Dt. 28). A nation covenants with God by means of the oath its leaders
swear, to govern in accord with the law of God (II Kg. 23:3, Jon.3: 6-9). Many leading
Christian writers on American history have failed to distinguish between this kind of
biblical covenant and the secular social contract such as we find in the Preamble of the
U.S. Constitution. Thus, they miss the most important distinction of American history
completely.

- When and why did America get off track?
- Companion to “Discipling the Nations’s” focus on American government.

This book traces these fundamental principles through six eras of American
history. The response of the American people to the terms of God’s covenant is best
apprehended in the literature produced in each era. The throbbing heartbeat of history
may be felt in its poetry and prose. You’ll feel the pulse of America coursing through the
pages of this book.
