The Story of Liberty (A Christian History Text)
By Charles C. Coffin / Maranatha Publications, Inc
"...if truly God had specific plans for this country and the people who
were to inhabit it, have God's plans reached their fulfillment? Does America
still have a rendezvous with destiny? Is there yet a generation to come
forth from this nation which will turn the hearts of not only its countrymen
back to the living God, but hte hearts of the world as well? It is with
this in mind that we have endeavored to republish Carles Coffin's The Story
of Liberty, originally published in 1879.
The Story of Liberty is not America's story alone. It belongs to all
those who are enjoying freedom and liberty in any part of the world. And
it belongs to all nations that will yet serve Him. As we reach back into
the records of history to observe the hand of the Great Author of all liberty,
we will find direction for the days ahead and discover the keys we need
to understand and interpret the future. As we look at that which preceded
our nation's history and led to its founding, we will begin to have an idea
of what liberty cost those who love the truth and how much still is at stake.
We cannot neglect the present and hope to enjoy in the future the blessings
of the past. Liberty was purchased by Christian courage, self-sacrifice,
and unceasing vigilance. Only by these virtues can we hope to keep it. We
must, by God's grace, be as determined to protect our liberties as our forefathers
were to win them. 'Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ
hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.'"
(Gal. 5:1 KJV).

Religion in Colonial America
By Jon Butler / Oxford University Press
Many people believe that the piety of the Pilgrims typified early American
religion. However, by the 1730s Catholics, Jews, and Africans had joined
Native Americans, Puritans, and numerous other Protestants in the colonies.
Jon Butler launches his narrative with a description of the state of religious
affairs in both the Old and New Worlds. He explores the failure of John
Winthrop's goal to achieve Puritan perfection, the controversy over Anne
Hutchinson's tenacious faith, the evangelizing stamina of ex-slave and Methodist
preacher Absalom Jones, and the spiritual resilience of the Catawba Indians.

In Pursuit of Purity: A History of American Fundamentalism since 1850
By David Beale / Journeyforth
Men from nearly every denomination and all walks of life are a part of that
history: from Lyman Stewart, a Christian businessman, to J.Greshman Machen,
the learned Princeton professor; from the fiery evangelist Billy Sunday
to the dignified pastor W.B. Riley. These colorful men were united by a
common goal: faithfulness to their Lord and Saviour. And their activities
were as varied as their backgrounds: pastoring churches, evangelizing the
lost, conducting Bible and prophetic conferences, exposing liberalism, establishing
Christian schools and colleges, and publishing Christian literature.
