The Miracles That Made America | Bill Federer on Divine Providence | Theological

As America prepares to celebrate 250 years since its founding, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with bestselling author and historian Bill Federer to ask one of the biggest questions in American history: Was the hand of God involved in the founding of the United States? And does He still bless this nation after 250 years?
Federer, co-author of Miracles in American History, explores the role of divine providence in the American Revolution, the survival of George Washington, the winter at Valley Forge, the faith of the Founding Fathers, religious freedom in early America, and the biblical ideas that shaped the nation’s founding.

Shabbos and Bill discuss:

• George Washington surviving bullets, dead horses, and impossible odds
• Whether America’s founding can be understood without divine providence
• The miracle stories behind the American Revolution
• Valley Forge, prayer, and the faith of the Founders
• Ben Franklin, the Constitution, and public prayer
• The Jewish role in America’s founding and Washington’s letter to the Newport synagogue
• Whether the United States was founded as a Christian nation
• How Jews and Christians understand miracles, free will, and God’s role in history
Was America founded by chance, courage, or the hand of God? Bill Federer makes the case that the story of the United States cannot be told without talking about providence.
