"This book shows how the Bible decisively shaped American national history even as that history decisively influenced the use of Scripture.

C.S. Lewis has been called the "Apostle to the skeptics" -- responsible, perhaps, for bringing more people to Christianity than any evangelist of the 20th Century. Although Lewis was a staunch Ulster-born Anglican, although he invariably eschewed denominational questions in favor of what he called "Mere Christianity," and although he refused to convert to Catholicism, a surprising phenomenon has occurred over the years: many of those whom Lewis influenced...
