Why You Need This DVD Series

Dr. Peter Lillback, president of Westminster Theological Seminary

Dr. Paul Jehle, director of Plymouth Rock Foundation and founder of Heritage Institute Ministries

This year, millions of Americans asked important questions about the history of America.

They asked questions because they were bombarded in the national media and the government schools by secular humanists and historical revisionists with cynical and often explicitly anti-Christian rhetoric about the Founders of America and the circumstances of our nation’s beginnings.

This rhetoric was designed to rewrite a long-standing historical record that clearly points to the providence of God in the origins of our nation and the importance to our forefathers that Christian principles be foundational to a well-structured society.

The revisionists presented the children of America with attitudes and philosophies of hatred attributed to the Christians founders of Jamestown — environmental destruction, racial bigotry, and acts of genocide. They proclaimed this message on the covers of magazines like National Geographic, on television documentaries, in National Park Service museums, in tax-payer-subsidized events, and in school textbooks and curriculum.

In the face of this onslaught, many Christian parents found themselves unsure of what to do. Many were unable to answer basic questions about early American history. Still others had never heard of, much less considered, a providential view of American history.

Were you one of them? Were your children?

If the answer is “yes,” or if you are simply a parent, student, or pastor who desires to strengthen your ability to “be always ready” to give an answer — we recommend that you consider “A Comprehensive Defense of the Providence of God in the Founding of America” as one of your most important training resources in your personal library.

Your Children Will Learn to Answer the Questions

Dr. Marshall Foster, founder of the Mayflower Institute

Dr. Joe Morecraft III, pastor of Chalcedon Presbyterian Church

If someone were to ask you to give solid evidence for the Christian origins of the settlement of America at Jamestown, could you present them with sound analysis and documentation?

Could you give a biblical and legal argument for the settlement of Christian Europeans in a land that was partly occupied at the time by Native Americans?

Could you address the many charges thrown at Christians concerning the providential founding of America with theological precision and a solid command of the facts?

The DVD series equips you to do just this. It is the fruit of the combined effort of more than a dozen of the finest Christian scholars and historians, orators and cultural visionaries of our day.

Christian Scholars and Historians Become Your Family Faculty

Jonathan Falwell, senior pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church

Geoffrey Botkin, veteran filmmaker and cultural visionary

Now you can learn “historical apologetics” from men who have devoted their lives to the study of the providence of God in American history and who brought their skills to the Jamestown Quadricentennial: A Celebration of Our Providential History.

The Comprehensive Defense of the Providence of God in the Founding of America DVD Series features lectures from the foremost teachers of America’s providential heritage, including Professor Peter Lillback, president of Westminster Theological Seminary; Doug Phillips, president of Vision Forum; Dr. Marshall Foster, president of the Mayflower Institute; historian Bill Potter, author of the Providential Battles lecture series; Dr. Paul Jehle, director of the Plymouth Rock Foundation; and Stephen McDowell, president of the Providence Foundation; Antiquarian specialist, Mr. Dan Ford; and legal scholar Col. John Eidsmoe, among others.

Learn from Dr. Paul Jehle as he traces seemingly unrelated providences year by year in the early 1600s, illustrating how these events remarkably converged at just the right time to bring about the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies. Listen to Doug Phillips defend the vision and character of Captain John Smith. Hear Dr. Marshall Foster explain the awe-inspiring story of how the translation of the Geneva Bible into the English language in 1560 transformed the British Isles, providing the foundations stones for liberty that would be laid at Jamestown in 1607.

Also Included: Ballads of Bravery and Dramas of Hope

“The Marriage of Pocahontas” was performed by the Academy of the Arts

Celtic balladeer Charlie Zahm

“Those who honorably sing the ballads, write the poems, and tell the stories, will help to define the vision of the next generation.”

—Doug Phillips, founder of the Jamestown Quadricentennial

The principle was not lost on the Jamestown Quadricentennial celebrants, and this DVD Highlights Collection includes multiple performances by Celtic Balladeer Charlie Zahm as well as the Williamsburg Fife and Drum Corps. Also included are two full-length play performances written specifically for the Quadricentennial. With a cast of fourteen, the Academy of Arts — a Christian drama team led by Dr. Nicky Chavers — brings to life “The Heroes of Jamestown” and “The Marriage of John Rolfe and Pocahontas.” Dr. Chavers’ plays have been performed to audiences around America for over twenty-five years.

Remembering the Christian Founding of America:
A Duty of Discipleship

“We today are part of God’s providential purpose. He has a mission for us today. And we need to remember and celebrate what God has done in the past — to take these ideas and principles that [the Jamestown Settlers] planted and sow them in...our children’s life and give a vision to our posterity to enlarge the glory of the Gospel in the future.”

— Stephen McDowell, president of the Providence Foundation, during his keynote address, “The Panorama of Providence at Jamestown”

Americans have largely forgotten the real story of Jamestown — a legacy of freedom built on the principles of God’s Word. And our ignorance of our nation’s past has caused us to lose our way. Because we don’t know our Christian heritage, we are unable to speak to the issues of our day or to chart a course for the future. More importantly, our people are being destroyed for a “lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6), and our children have no hope because they are unaware of God’s hand in history (Psalm 78).

The mission of the Comprehensive Defense of the Providence of God in the Founding of America is designed to help your family chart a new course by remembering the past and casting a multi-generational vision of faithfulness for the future. Keep in mind that this is not a fancy, highly-produced series (they are conference quality DVD recordings), but their content is phenomenal.

Today, we want to encourage you to get this set, watch the DVDs as a family, share them with friends in your church, incorporate them into your home school program — but please make sure you watch them.

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3)

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.” (Deuteronomy 32:7)

“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, ‘The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.’” (Isaiah 58:12)
