WHEN WE WERE CHRISTIAN
Where We Were and Where We Are Now
By Dr. Brad Hoffman

America was once a nation in which Christianity shaped nearly every aspect of public and private life. What happened?

From the earliest English settlements to the founding of the United States, Christianity played a central role in American life. Churches were more than places of worship. They helped establish schools, colleges, hospitals, charities, and communities. Christian ministers influenced public debate, colonial governments supported established churches, and biblical principles helped shape the moral expectations of American society.

In When We Were Christian, Dr. Brad Hoffman traces this remarkable history, beginning with the religious persecution that drove English Christians to seek new lives across the Atlantic. He explores the Pilgrims and Puritans, colonial religious laws, the American Revolution, the Founding Fathers, the Great Awakenings, the abolition of slavery, and the Christian institutions that helped build the nation.

But this is more than a history of America's Christian beginnings.

The book also examines the gradual decline of Christianity's influence in American society, the rise of secularism, and the growing conflict between traditional Christian beliefs and modern political and cultural movements.

At its heart is a question that reaches beyond politics and history:

How did a country whose early communities were so deeply rooted in Christianity become the America we know today?

Illustrated with historical photographs, documents, charts, and timelines, When We Were Christian invites readers to examine America's Christian heritage, understand what has changed, and consider what those changes mean for the nation's future.
