Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first American settlers also brought with them the power structure that had shaped their society back across the Atlantic, though this time they did their best to hide it from the rest of the inhabitants of their newest franchise. #2 America was formed as a colony of the British Empire, which brought with it the organized formation of Freemasonry. Many of America's founding fathers were Masons. #3 The Order of the Eastern Star uses a star similar to the one used by the Freemasons, but with a pentagon in the center and five lines of equal length, creating five isosceles triangles connected to the center. The Masons see this as a visual representation of the mathematical concept of the Golden Ratio. #4 The Statue of Liberty, created by French engineer Gustave Eiffel and sculptor Bartholdi, is the most recognizable symbol of the United States. It was a gift from the French Grand Orient Temple Masons to the Masons of the United States in 1884.

Sample Book Insights: #1 When I heard the news of President Kennedy's assassination, I was shocked and disbelief quickly turned to anger. I felt a sense of unreality as the unending reportage flooded in from Dallas. #2 The New Orleans connection meant that my office had to investigate Oswald's possible associations in our jurisdiction. We discovered that the alleged assassin had been seen with a man named David Ferrie during the summer. I got my people on the telephone to investigate a possible Oswald-Ferrie relationship. #3 I had met David Ferrie once, in 1962, when I was walking across Carondelet Street near Canal Street. He had been shouting congratulations on my election as district attorney. I had remembered him as an adventurer and pilot, and his reputation as an anti-Castro activist. #4 I had a high regard for the American legal system, and was confident that an F. B. I. investigation into David Ferrie and any other matters related to the President's assassination would be thorough.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The evangelical mind is not well-developed, and this is especially true for American evangelicals. They have failed to sustain a serious intellectual life, and have largely abandoned the universities, the arts, and other realms of high culture. #2 Evangelical Christians are, however, in the position of theological conservatives in Great Britain: they play a small, but vital, role in shaping the secular mind. They accept the secular mind's frame of reference and criteria, and there is no shared field of discourse in which writers can reflect christianly on the modern world and modern man. #3 Throughout the book, America will mostly mean the United States, even though the inclusion of Canada in the study of Christian developments in North America is an immensely rewarding effort. Occasional efforts will be made to include Canada in the pages that follow. #4 By the mind or the life of the mind, I do not mean theology as such. I mean the effort to think like a Christian and to think within a specifically Christian framework across the whole spectrum of modern learning, including economics and political science, literary criticism and imaginative writing, historical inquiry and philosophical studies, linguistics and the history of science, social theory and the arts.
