Providential Battles of the American War for Independence
Covered in This Session:
- “He who notes Providences will have Providences to note.”
- Deists believe in chance and fate, but Christians believe in God’s sovereign hand at work in daily life.
- “We read Providence like Hebrew — backwards.”
- If you don’t understand your past, you can’t understand your present.
Military historian, Presbyterian elder, and veteran teacher Bill Potter examines history from a biblical worldview perspective, emphasizing the sovereign providence of God over all men and all events. The War for American Independence is one of his specialties in which battles, leaders, strategies and tactics are examined in detail, along with the political developments that accompanied independence and constitution-making. Mr. Potter learned of the sovereignty of God at his parents’ knees, and Christian approaches to the study of the past at Cedarville College. His courses in graduate school in the University of Dayton and The College of William and Mary taught him the secular and modernist approaches to the study of history, giving practical apologetic experience and excellent research tools for teaching and writing history. The sufficiency of the Scriptures for all of life, faith, and practice undergirds Mr. Potter’s teaching methods and content as he notes the providence of God in the American War for Independence.
