Summary

Eric Metaxas comes on to discusses his new book, Revolution, which aims to reclaim a providential perspective on the founding of the United States. Metaxas argues that modern education has neglected the moral and religious foundations of the American Revolution, asserting that the victory was a sacred cause driven by leaders who viewed their rights as divinely granted. He contrasts the virtuous conduct of American patriots like John Adams with the perceived cruelty of the British elite, positioning the conflict as a unique and successful model of self-governance unlike the secular failures of the French or Bolshevik revolutions.
