Title: interesing man, but not really evangelical
Product review: This book has a lot going for it: nicely packaged, well-written, thoughtful, candid. At times I really enjoyed it. But overall I found it a little disappointing. Carter endless boasting is too much to stomach.The most helpful aspect of this book was to understand better the contours of Carter's personal theology. What is very clear is that by any classical standard Carter may be a committed Christian but he is no evangelical. His beliefs include: Homosexual practice is acceptable (p.187), Biblical inerrancy is ridiculous (p.197-8), Reinhold Niebuhr and Soren Kierkegaard are his favorite theologians, Mormons are Christian, evolution is not up for debate....A pretty helpful book for political junkies needing to know more about Carter, but not as helpful as an inspirational aid for Christians.I probably would have given it 3 stars if I hadn't gone into it with higher hopes.
