Rediscovering the American Covenant Mark Burrell

America is in decline, what is the cause, and what must be done to re-establish our founding principles? There is nothing in print today that clearly answers these questions from a biblical standpoint. This book provides fresh light on biblical principles for civil government and the citizenship Duty all Christians have in the communities in which they live. These principles are extracted empirically from the Bible showing how they informed the actions of the founders in 1776 - establishing our national American Covenant. The simple, yet critical blueprint they followed is described - the same blueprint needed to restore America's founding principles today. I conclude with a call to action to Christians and the church to Rediscover the American Covenant and fulfill the Citizenship Duty we have as Christians. A roadmap showing how to proceed is also discussed making this content actionable. All the opposing arguments aimed to dimmish America are addressed, some in fresh ways. Given the breath of the material, full 2-page illustrations are used to set the tone for each chapter. Many additional illustrations draw the reader in helping connect concepts to the active citizenship Duty I assert Christians have. A 2-page theological monograph is also included incorporating key governing principles as given in the OT and reinforced in the NT. The aim of this book is to present a thorough biblical argument for: 1. Active citizenship as a vital part of the Christian faith (including sharing the Gospel). 2. How this Duty informed the actions of the founders as they codified and declared our American national Covenant. 3. Steps for Christians to re-engage politically, to restore their local community and America to a God honoring nation.
