About this episode

Eric Metaxas talks with Tim Barton about the Christian roots of America's founding and the historical context of key figures and events.

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Tim Barton of WallBuilders about the Christian roots of America’s founding, the real meaning of separation of church and state, the forgotten role of John Adams, and why modern historians have distorted the story of 1776.
