Review title: Little things and big things
Product review: I have had this book recommended to me and hadn't gotten around to reading it. I concur with an earlier reviewer about little historical inaccuracies that are annoying. The authors state that the motto "In God We Trust" was put on American money from the period following the revolution, but that phrase was put on some coins after the civil war and not on all coins until the 1950's. But for me the main problem is theological. The authors do not state that the church is the New Israel. Rather the United States is the New Israel. How other readers who presumably would value the Bible as the final source of truth could stomach that is beyond me. As a dispensationalist, I would want to maintain a distinction between Israel and the church. But I can understand the idea from Scripture that the church is in a sense the new Israel. But to see the United States as the new Israel is to go way beyond Scripture and good sense.
