  • Randall Balmer is an Episcopal priest, historian, author and the John Phillips Chair in Religion at Dartmouth College. His book Redeemer: The Life of Jimmy Carter examines the 39th president’s political fortunes and how they mirrored the transformation of American religious politics. Balmer joined “Conversations Different” in the days after Carter’s death to talk about Carter’s legacy. He discusses how Carter would not tell a lie, how historians are reassessing Carter’s one-term presidency and accomplishments, and stresses the importance of Carter’s faith. Balmer also examines how Evangelicals who helped elect Carter also helped elect Donald Trump to the presidency, and shares his personal interactions with Carter while writing the book.
