There have been many books about President Jimmy Carter. Still, only one squarely focuses on the historical and spiritual influences that shaped the faith life of the nation’s 39th president. In the 2014 religious biography Redeemer, Randall Balmer describes how the controversial president’s rise and fall coincided with the decline of Christian progressives and the Religious Right and why he believes at several inflection points, Carter’s faith and spirituality have led him to take a path of redemption.
Randall Balmer, Ph.D. Prize-winning historian and Emmy Award nominee, He holds the John Phillips Chair in Religion at Dartmouth. He earned a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1985 and taught as a Professor of American Religious History at Columbia University for twenty-seven years.
