THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM is an hour long documentary about the history of Christianity and education in Colonial America and the first 100 years or so of the United States. The movie contends that the Puritans, the Pilgrims, early educators, the Founding Fathers, and the American people saw Christianity and the Bible as essential to a good education. For example, all of the early educational systems and major colleges in America were based on a Christian, biblical education. For example, Harvard University’s motto in Latin translates to “Truth for Christ and the Church.” The movie cites Christians like Noah Webster, creator of the famous dictionary, William Holmes McGuffey, creator of McGuffey’s Readers, and the Rev. John Witherspoon, a college president and the spiritual leader to the Founding Fathers drafting the Declaration of Independence.
