Belmont Hosts Author Stephen Mansfield
Belmont University hosted Stephen Mansfield, author of The Faith of Barack Obama, on Fri., Jan. 16, just four days prior to the Presidential Inauguration. The New York Times’ bestselling author discussed before a packed room his latest book which was written from his perspective as a conservative evangelical. Mansfield calls Obama a “brother in Christ,” whose faith speaks to a “new generation who are deeply religious, philosophically postmodern and passionately oriented to social justice.” He described Obama as a champion of the religious left who symbolizes the direction America is going religiously.
