Jimmy Carter and Progressive Evangelicals

Source: Law & Liberty
by DG Hart

“Reactions to Jimmy Carter’s death have a bit of the feel of socialism’s defenders who say the system, despite apparent failures, has never really been tried. Evangelicals who lean left are using Carter’s legacy to take a win for their brand of faith-based politics and jab at both the Religious Right and MAGA evangelicals. … In the process, Carter’s most prominent defenders are using the same logic that Christian Nationalists employ when arguing that liberalism (and secularism) has been a failure and that America needs Christianity. Progressive evangelicals have used Carter’s career not only to score points against the Religious Right but to support a faith-based politics that they believe will turn the United States Christian.” (02/17/25)
