This Rebellious House: American History and the Truth of Christianity Paperback - 1996
by Steven J. Keillor
Today Christianity is challenged on a historical basis as well as being debated on a philosophical and metaphysical level. Relying on essential Christian assumptions and on the best of contemporary historical scholarship, historian Steven J. Keillor refutes the challenges against Christianity with provocative, compelling, and ribustly pro-Christian readings of events in U.S. history.
From the rear cover
There was a day when the plausibility of Christianity was debated on a philosophical and metaphysical basis: Does God exist? Can a good God create and sustain a world marred by evil? Can peoples in all times and places take seriously the very particular claims made by and for Jesus Christ? But in the college classrooms of today, Christianity is often considered disproved on the basis of history. Rather than attack and supposed proofs of God's existence, skeptics are more likely to point to slavery patriarchalism, mistreatment of Native Americans and other historical examples of Christian oppression. Limiting himself to the United States, a country he never supposes to have been a genuinely "Christian nation", historian Steven Keillor here meets the anti-Christian case head-on. He relies on basic Christian assumptions and the best contemporary historical scholarship to present a provocative, compelling and robustly pro-Christian reading of American history. A significant book for historians, students, Christians and other citizens caught in the crossfire of America's current-day culture wars.
