This issue is a salute to America on its two hundredth birthday. The essays provide some provocative insights into America’s founding and the part played by Christianity.
The lead editorial looks forward as well as backward. The second most important question has to do with America’s roots; the first, with where it is going and what it will be like a hundred years from now. Every American can and should have a role in determining the future of the nation.
