Review:

History-bashing has become a favorite hobby of psuedo-intellectuals in our time, especially where Christianity has played a prominent role in the shaping of past events. Gary DeMar, by scholarly documentation and clear writing, sets the historical facts straight regarding America's Christian roots. His chapters on 'Whitewashing History' alone justify the publishing of this important book exposing the methods and the motives of those who would rewrite the past to suit their own anti-religion bias. --D. James Kennedy, Ph.D., Sr. Pastor, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church
