The Collected Writings of James Leo Garrett Jr., 1950–2015: Volume Seven

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Many (conservative) Baptists today have not simply forgotten but have intentionally abandoned commitments to religious liberty for all people and the separation of church and state. A rereading of the writings of James Leo Garrett will remind Baptists of their larger history—that the best of the Baptist tradition remembered and preserved the core commitment that Jesus Christ is Lord of the conscience. Garrett would be appalled at the specter of Christian nationalism.”
