Faith — The Foundational Principle
A Christian historian says his upcoming film rediscovers the key to America’s success and freedom.
The film Monumental: In Search of America’s National Treasure — expected to be released in theatres November 2011 or early 2012 — depicts the strategy to save America left by the country’s Founding Fathers. The basis of the film revolves around the National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, which is a large statue of Faith, encircled by smaller depictions of Liberty, Law, Education, and Morality.
The film features Kirk Cameron and is envisioned by Dr. Marshall Foster, the president and founder of the World History Institute. During a tele-training conference, Foster told listeners that the monument lays out the blueprint to reclaim America’s biblical foundation.
“[It explains] the code of what we need to do to save America — and it is the large statue of Faith; and Faith is pointing the finger to God and has an open Geneva Bible in the right hand and a star of wisdom,” he explains.
“So that obviously if you want wisdom to live life, to be free, to do all things, it must involve faith in the Almighty through Christ; it must involve the Bible giving you wisdom and your mind is enlightened.”
Foster contends Christianity is what made America great, and that every Christian is called to be a liberator because they have been set free.
“In that service then they are free to become ministers of liberation,” he continues. “God’s purpose in this world was not to judge the world, but that the world would be saved through him — and it says that we have been given the ministry of reconciliation.”
The documentary was shot on location in Los Angeles, Scotland, England, Holland, Boston, Plymouth, and the District of Columbia.
