157. Peter Lillback: Debunking the Myth of a Deist George Washington
About this episode
Dr. Peter Lillback discusses the true Christian faith of George Washington, challenging the deist narrative surrounding him.
Since the 1930s, revisionist "historians" have portrayed George Washington as a deist at worst and a "lukewarm Episcopalian" at best. In this conversation, Dr. Peter Lillback (President Emeritus of Westminster Seminary) examines the historical evidence, challenges that narrative, and argues that America's first president was an orthodox, Trinitarian Christian. Dr. Lillback's landmark work, George Washington's Sacred Fire , has now been released in a newly abridged edition, Sacred Fire: George Washington's Faith (P&R Publishing), containing a mountain of original sources and silver bullets that the zeitgeist has long loved turning its blind eyes to.
