Two weeks ago, Americans at home and abroad celebrated Independence Day. It was on July 4, 1776 that the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, formally establishing the independence of the thirteen American colonies from Great Britain. Since then, fireworks, parades, concerts, barbecues, and family gatherings have been typical of American celebrations commemorating this special day.
But what in the world does any of this have to do with Christianity…or apologetics?
