This week's episode:
The 1620 Project
The Pilgrims' Influence on
American Civil and Religious Liberty
with Mark David Hall
Author, professor, and Chronicles contributor
Please join us today, Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at 11:30 a.m. CDT for this week’s Backchannel videocast featuring Mark David Hall, author, professor, and Chronicles contributor, whose most recent article "The 1620 Project" is featured in the September 2020 issue of the magazine.
400 years ago today, on September 16, 1620, the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England, carrying a group of English Separatists now known as the Pilgrims on their voyage to the New World. In the September 2020 issue, Chronicles magazine takes a deeper look at the influence of this pivotal event in American history. In stark contrast to the hyperbole and revisionist history of The New York Times' recent The 1619 Project, Professor Hall examines the influence these early settlers had on the American founding.
Professor Hall writes in Chronicles:
"The Pilgrims...created political institutions and practices that profoundly influenced the course of American politics and facilitated later experiments in republican self-government and liberty under law. They valued natural rights, government by the consent of the governed, and limited government; and they were convinced that citizens have a right, and perhaps even a duty, to resist tyrannical governments. On the 400th anniversary of their pilgrimage, we should honor their contributions to the creation of the American republic."
Mark David Hall is the Herbert Hoover Distinguished Professor of Politics and Faculty Fellow in the William Penn Honors Program at George Fox University. He is also associated faculty at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University and senior fellow at Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion. He has written, edited, or co-edited a dozen books on religion and politics in America and is a nationally recognized expert on religious freedom.
Author of the 2019 book Did America Have a Christian Founding?: Separating Modern Myth from Historical Truth ([link removed]) , Professor Hall has a truly illuminating perspective on the subject of the Pilgrims as we take this 400-year look back at their legacy.
