You'll gain valuable perspective on the people and ideas that shaped America and see how it came to be the first nation in history based upon the ideal of religious liberty. In this six-episode series you'll meet the spiritual visionaries, leaders and entrepreneurs who shaped Christianity across the centuries and dramatically impacted the culture we live in today, including Jonathan Edwards, Harriett Beecher Stowe, Archbishop John Joseph Hughes, Martin Luther King Jr. and Billy Graham among many other influential Protestant and Catholic Christians

"Learn about the key events, movements and controversies that continue to shape us today such as the Great Awakening, the Abolitionist Movement, 19th century Catholic immigration, the Prohibition Era, Modernism and Fundamentalism, the Social Gospel, Vatican II, the Civil Rights and Pro-Life Movements, etc. Well researched, balanced, fast-paced and insightful, People of Faith features expert commentary from an array of scholars representing Evangelical, Mainline Protestant and Catholic perspectives. This amazing resource will help you discover the importance of Christian history as we consider the future of the church in America." - publisher's description
