If the Foundations Are Destroyed: Biblical Principles and Civil Government

Dr. Snyder has accurately and concisely addressed the fundamental principles of government espoused by the founders of our nation. This easy to read text discusses how the Bible influenced the founding of America and its government and includes present day application of those governmental principles to current public policy issues! I recommend it to anyone who wants to know how beliefs influence government. This book will challenge and even change your perspective.

"If the Foundations are Destroyed" successfully encompasses the important religious apsects of the American Founding with the historical events of the time. So often, works analizing America's roots neglect to include the role of religion, specifically Christianity, and its interdependence on Biblical precepts. A simple trace of our historical documents serves as evidence that Snyder's preface, that Chirstianity served as one of the building blocks of our nation, is not only true, but paramount if one is to fully understand how and more importantly, why, America was born. This book effectively intertwines Biblical foundations with historical theories and facts in an intelligent and most compelling manner.
