59:15Now PlayingIn his fifth book, Metaxas looks closely at the founders’ idea of this country as “a noble experiment in ordered liberty.” Asking us to consider what these words really mean, Metaxas, founder and host of Socrates in the City and a senior fellow and lecturer at King’s College in New York, argues that as an “experiment,” the nation is a work in progress and is always being tested. This makes us both strong and vulnerable, Metaxas states, and he invites us all to participate in the ongoing challenge, as only constant reaffirmation of the founding ideals will assure the freedom of future generations.
