Summary
Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Joe Loconte about his new Benjamin Rush documentary, the Christian roots of the American founding, the myth that the Revolution was merely secular and Enlightenment driven, and why figures like Rush, John Adams, and George Washington understood liberty through a biblical lens. They also dig into slavery, religious liberty, Protestant influence, and how modern historians keep getting America’s founding story wrong. Subscribe for clips from The Eric Metaxas Show to hear politics and culture from a Christian perspective.
