An honest review of American History
5 marzo 2012
Di Stanley Harder
- Pubblicato su Amazon.com
Formato:Formato Kindle
It is refreshing to come across a book that honestly analyzes and reports (sans political and religious bias) the movements that most impacted the institutions and laws of the first 100 years of the United States of America. The author documents and substantiates his historical analysis of the religious and political ebb and flow that lead up to the 20th century in the U.S. He reveals what few current historical books will say, that Christianity was alive and well and at the same time, under far more attack and opposition than is commonly understood.
The current views on our American history seem to suffer from two extremes: those that argue this was a Christian nation exclusively and those that argue this was a nation built on Enlightenment principles with little or no Christian influence, except from a few radical and boisterous bigots. I find Bacon's survey of American history refreshingly in agreement with Ira Stoll's biography of Samuel Adams and David McCullough's biography of John Adams.
He paints the period prior to, during, and after the Revolution as a time of contention between the religious roots of Christianity and the followers of the Enlightenment who contended for a world view more consistent with our present day secular humanists, a time when the battle for the heart and soul of the new nation was fought intensely with times of progress and failure. The ebb and flow he describes is as vivid and detailed as a good drama made for TV. You may find yourself stopping to translate terms used in a context which is not familiar to the 21st century. It's worth the effort.

I found somewhat difficult to read but will continue to work thru the text. This will increase my determination to read the author's thoughts.

(Cos'è?)
If the discovery of America had been achieved four centuries or even a single century earlier, the Christianity to be transplanted to the western world would have been that of the church of Europe at its lowest stage of decadence.

The propagation of the gospel in the western hemisphere, under the Spanish rule, illustrated in its public and official aspects far more the principles of Mohammed than those of Jesus.

In the memorable year 1492 was inaugurated the fiercest work of the Spanish Inquisition, concerning which, speaking of her own part in it, the pious Isabella was able afterward to say, "For the love of Christ and of his virgin mother I have caused great misery, and have depopulated towns and districts, provinces and kingdoms."
