Remembering Jimmy Carter: A Legacy of Progressive Evangelicalism

Credited from: USATODAY

  • Jimmy Carter's faith, deeply rooted in his Southern Baptist upbringing, transitioned toward progressive evangelicalism after a spiritual awakening in 1967.
  • His 1976 Playboy interview discussing faith and personal struggles created divisions among evangelical leaders and ultimately influenced his presidency.
  • Carter championed social issues like racial reconciliation and prison reform, paralleling a time marked by significant growth in progressive evangelical movements.
  • Despite his commitment to Christian principles, the rise of the religious right led to his defeat in the 1980 election, signaling shifts in evangelical political alliances.
  • After leaving the presidency, Carter remained active in his faith, teaching Sunday school and fostering Baptist unity through the New Baptist Covenant.
