In this episode, Patrick interviews Dr. E. Michael Jones, editor of Culture Wars magazine, to discuss his new book Walking with a Bible and a Gun, an exploration of the competing forces that shaped — and continue to reshape — American identity.

Content:

Jones traces the Puritan imprint on the earliest colonists: the moral rigor, the sense of chosenness, and the belief in America as a “New Israel.”
Examination of how Puritanism influenced the founding documents, especially the moral language of liberty, mission, and national exceptionalism.
Discussion of Benjamin Franklin — his transformation from Puritan upbringing to Enlightenment rationalist — as a symbol of America’s own religious-cultural evolution.
Insights into Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose writings exposed the psychological burden of Puritan guilt and the shadow it cast over early American culture.
Discussion of Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) whose humor and skepticism illuminated the contradictions within America’s self-image.
Jones argues that “America” is a tension between biblical moral vision and frontier individualism, rising and falling across eras.
