Description: Thomas Jefferson continues to elicit a wide-range of reactions. Jefferson had a brilliant mind and engaged with Christianity in ways that were both sympathetic and critical. Along with many others during his time, Jefferson was intrigued by several principles from the Enlightenment era, which influenced his perception of Christianity. Jefferson embodied a tension over issues such as church and government, slavery and equality, and the rise of "rational Christianity," a tension Christians today still struggle to overcome. In this fascinating podcast, Thomas S. Kidd joins Gary Steward and Matthew Barrett to discuss the many difficult tensions that rise to the surface in the thought and life of Thomas Jefferson, while also addressing how Christians today should think about the triumphs and tragedies of historical figures before them but with no little humility.
