Topic: Introductory Comments on George Washington’s Religion. Dr. Peter Lillback is the president of Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. In 2006, he and Jerry Newcombe wrote a book on the faith of our first president, which ended up becoming a national best-seller (thanks to Glenn Beck), “George Washington’s Sacred Fire.” Dr. Lillback joins Jerry Newcombe on Vocal Point to discuss the faith of Washington and to explain why there was a need to respond to the critical scholars who had incorrectly pigeon-hold Washington as a Deist. This 15-minute discussion is the first of a series where Dr. Lillback and Dr. Newcombe will be joining forces to discuss issues of faith and culture. www.providenceforum.org
