Podcast with Mark Beliles on Thomas Jefferson and the Jefferson Memorial
Topic: Thomas Jefferson as seen on the Jefferson Memorial
We often hear today that many of our founding fathers were essentially unbelievers. A prime example is Thomas Jefferson. Yet he wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, which says our rights come from the Creator. There are references to God, for example, as seen in the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., which was built from 1939 to 1943. Dr. Mark Beliles of Charlottesville co-founded Providence Foundation to educate people about American history, in particular our Christian roots. Dr. Mark Beliles joins Jerry Newcombe (his co-author on two books on Thomas Jefferson and faith) to discuss Jefferson and God as seen in the Jefferson Memorial. www.doubtingthomasbook.com
