The Forgotten Christian Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

About this episode

Did Christians really try to amend the U.S. Constitution to formally recognize Jesus Christ? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird uncover the forgotten story of the National Reform Association and its 19th-century effort to acknowledge God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible within the Constitution. They explore how leading Presbyterians, Old Princeton theologians, and the Presbyterian General Assembly of 1864 understood civil government, religious liberty, and Christ's authority over the nations. Whether you agree or disagree with their conclusions, this remarkable chapter of American history raises important questions about Christianity's role in public life and what has been lost in our national memory.
