Why I Write
Simply put, my heart’s desire is to be in conversation with other Christians about the relationship between the love of God, the life of the mind, and the study of the past. My goal is to help Christ followers learn to think Christianly about the past and to understand why faithful remembering is critical to faithful living.
I have published three books so far with these ends in mind. First came The First Thanksgiving: What the Real Story Tells Us about Loving God and Learning from History (2013), then came A Little Book for New Historians: Why and How to Study History (2019), and my most recent work, We the Fallen People: The Founders and the Future of American Democracy. (2021).
