Very appropriate words with the events that have transpired recently. @eerdmansbooks @heathwcarter
Last year I wrote the forward for a book about FDR by a beloved former religion professor of mine, who died before finishing the book. His son reminded me today of what I wrote. It fits even more this year:
After Pearl Harbor 1941, FDR refused suggestions to surround the White House with light tanks because it might look as if our democracy was under siege:
FDR was Episcopalian fond of “Methodysts” especially their songs. Watch my chat on FDR’s faith @JamesBratt11 @Calvin_Uni @AChristianDem @TheIRD juicyecumenism.com/2020/05/14/fdr…

Christian and a Democrat: A Religious Biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt. By John F. Woolverton with James D. Bratt academic.oup.com/jcs/article/62…
"Thousands lined the tracks as FDR’s funeral train made its way north from Georgia. In Washington’s Union Station, a reporter asked a mourner, “Why are you here? Did you know Franklin Roosevelt?” The mourner replied: “No, I did not know President Roosevelt, but he knew me.”
A CHRISTIAN and a DEMOCRAT (@eerdmansbooks) is an engaging analysis of the surprisingly spiritual life of one of the most consequential presidents in US history. James Bratt discusses this new religious biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt with @dstone76 ↙️ newbooksnetwork.com/james-d-bratt-…

Wow, POTUS just talked about THIS Jan 1941 #SOTU speech by #FDR, when FDR asked Congress to help arm Britain and our European allies during WWII. 👇🏼
@AFP The US is in a similar position as Jan 1941 when our British & European allies needed US arms and aid for defense. Trump, Johnson & Republicans are "that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests" FDR warned of.

Couldn't agree more. I knew your dad from his days with the Newseum and he was a big FDR fan as well.
I actually think FDR is UNDERRATED. Rescued the country from the worst economic recession and won WWII! He lacks of the cult of personality that Teddy, JFK and Reagan got. Too contemporary to be a “legend” like Abe or George. FDR deserves more appreciation. 🇺🇸
