From the Book of Genesis to John Locke

 

Hillsdale College pioneered video courses on the Constitution with “Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution” and “Constitution 201: The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism”.  Recently Hillsdale added their marvelous Constitution Reader, a digital online resource for integrating these courses and the supporting documents.

Now, in the next step toward augmenting every citizen’s grasp of our Republic and its underpinnings, Hillsdale will be offering a Western Heritage course. As Hugh Hewitt strongly recommended in his book, In, but Not Of, every American who hopes to make a difference and to preserve our country’s liberty must know where we came from–the history of the West (the Jews, the Greeks, the Romans, the Brits and America).
