(b.1930), an author, lecturer and pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Florida, was quoted in Dr. Tim LaHaye’s book, Faith of Our Founding Fathers, 1987. In his message entitled “Church and State,” Dr. D. James Kennedy stated:

In his work, “The Bible and the Constitution,” Dr. D. James Kennedy referred to an article in the December 1982, issue of Newsweek magazine, entitled, “How the Bible made America”:
New historians are discovering that the Bible, perhaps more than the Constitution, is our founding document.3863
