Dr. Alex McFarland and America's Bible Roots of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

For theologian and Bible scholar Dr. Alex McFarland, there is no separating America's Constitution from the Bible. Where does the right to life and liberty come from? From Buddha? No. From the pagan god of Ekron? No. How about from ourselves? No! The only worldview that provides a framework for those basic rights is in the Bible. There's a lot of debate over whether America is a Christian nation. For McFarland, there is no question that our U.S. Constitution is founded on biblical principles. Lighthouse Faith podcast caught up with McFarland a few weeks ago at this year's NRB (National Religious Broadcaster's Convention) in Orlando. It's the largest gathering of mostly Christian and Jewish media in the world. In typical McFarland style, his southern boy humility and charm offer a soothing delivery of a rather contentious conflict. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
