    About this ebook

    He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." (Matthew 16:15-16 ESV)

    If you want to really understand something, one of the best things you can do is study its origin, or beginning. This is true of nations. If you want to understand why America is as it is today, what its institutions are about, how its self-identity formed, then you have to go back and learn about its birth in the Revolutionary War, its struggle as a colony seeking independence, its ideal of equality under God, its pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.

      I Will Build My Church

      Matthew 16:13-20

      He said to them, But who do you say that I am? Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. (Matthew 16:15-16 ESV?).

      If you want to really understand something, one of the best things you can do is study its origin, or beginning. This is true of nations. If you want to understand why America is as it is today, what its institutions are about, how its self-identity formed, then you have to go back and learn about its birth in the Revolutionary War, its struggle as a colony seeking independence, its ideal of equality under God, its pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.

      The same is true of sports and pastimes. I recently took time to investigate the invention of my favorite sport, football. Football has its roots in the English game of rugby. The great Walter Camp, captain of the Yale University team, introduced rule changes in the 1880’s that transformed the sport to what we know and love today. He introduced the play from scrimmage, the point differential between touchdowns and field goals, set plays, and the eleven-man limit on the field. Some years later, in 1906, when the game had become bogged down in mass brutality, he brought innovation of the forward pass. In all of these, Camp was seeking to take the English game and infuse it with the American virtues of speed, daring, imagination and strategy, combined with the British virtues of physical strength and stamina. These are the very things that explain the vital connection between the game of football and the American ethos.

      We can perform a similar analysis of cultural phenomena, exploring, for instance the historic connection between theology and beer. Why is it, you may ask, that so much great
