REWIND: Thanksgiving and the Pilgrims: Separating Fact from Fiction
Manage episode 452257386 series 3084955
Thanksgiving is a cherished American tradition, filled with turkey, pumpkin pie, and football, but have you ever stopped to wonder what we’re truly celebrating? Is it just about family and food, or the story we learned in school about Pilgrims and Indians sharing a feast? How accurate is the history we’ve been told?
In this episode, we explore the true story behind the first Thanksgiving and examine the role of faith in the establishment of the American colonies. Joining us is Dr. Thomas Kidd, professor of church history at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He also teaches American history, and is the author of numerous books, including his most recent Thomas Jefferson: A Biography of Spirit and Flesh. Kidd has written for media outlets like the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, and he blogs on the Gospel coalition website.
