  • Evangelicals and Presidential Politics: From Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump. Edited by Andrew S. Moore

    Open AccessGary Scott SmithARTICLEJournal of Church and State2022

    Following fifty years during which evangelicals were allegedly preoccupied with premillennialism, heaven, and developing a vibrant subculture, while at the same time deterred by the dirtiness of politics, the authors of Evangelicals and Presidential Politics argue they returned to the political arena in 1976. Evangelicals were drawn back into politics by the contest between two candidates who claimed to be born-again Christians—Republican incumbe…

  • A Christian and a Democrat: A Religious Biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt. By John F. Woolverton with James D. Bratt

    Open AccessGary Scott SmithARTICLEJournal of Church and State2020

    Until fifteen years ago, few scholars paid attention to the religious beliefs of American presidents. They were generally considered to be no more significant than presidents’ hobbies such as birdwatching and stamp collecting. Since then, however, a spate of monographs, biographies, and edited books have carefully analyzed the religious convictions of numerous chief executives and argued that they helped shape their character, relationships, elec…

  • The Oxford Handbook of Presbyterianism

    Gary Scott Smith, Paul Charles KemenyBOOKOxford Handbook of Presbyterianism2019

    Presbyterianism has a rich, robust, resilient history.

The essays in this handbook explain the historical roots and developmen…

  • Thomas F. Rzeznik. Church and Estate: Religion and Wealth in Industrial-Era Philadelphia

    Gary Scott SmithARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014

    Since the Christian church began, the followers of Jesus, especially affluent ones, have grappled with how to best use the resources God has entrusted to them to promote His kingdom and advance the welfare of the church. Throughout history, particularly in the past two centuries, many have protested that the rich have had an inordinate influence on their congregations, especially with regard to their theological positions, governance, and ministr…

  • Jimmy Carter: A Progressive Evangelical Foreign Policy

    Gary Scott SmithARTICLEThe Review of Faith & International…2011References: 2

    Jimmy Carter was strongly influenced by his Christian faith, particularly in his promotion of peace and human rights. Carter, raised a Southern Baptist, became “born-again” in the late 1960s, and was publicly vocal about his faith. While Carter's political philosophy had many influences, Carter was always explicit about his faith's central role in determining his governing values. These values revealed themselves most clearly in Carter's foreign …

There is the potential for a thoroughgoing engagement of interests and ideals in proposals Australia has put forward in three areas. Australia's vision of an Asia Pacific C…
