Episode 26: Billy Graham Colludes with Fascist Pew to Found Christianity Today, William F. Buckley and Billy James Hargis/Southern Baptists Fight Pressing Threat of Women Pastors

This episode continues a lengthy series reviewing a key historical section of the founding of conservative Christian media from Dr. Bennett's last book, "Two Masters and Two Gospels, Vol. 1: The Teaching of Jesus Vs. the "Leaven of the Pharisees" in Talk Radio and Cable News," of which more about it and its availability can be found ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. It discusses the meddling of financier J. Howard Pew in Christian Economics, his Faustian pact with Billy Graham to found Christianity Today, his corporate control over academic freedom, and the rise of Christian media fundamentalist (and trainer of Jerry Falwell) Billy James Hargis. The "Contemporary Intelligence Briefing Case File" reviews the recent decision of the Southern Baptist Convention to expel Rick Warren's church and a church in my hometown of Louisville over (gasp) having a woman pastor.
