Recorded on February 25, 2004
Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
God and Ronald Reagan: A Spiritual Life by Paul Kengor,
Ph.D. is the first serious, comprehensive examination of Ronald
Reagan's religious faith. In this spiritual biography, Kengor
examines Reagan's vision of America as both a divinely ordained
beacon of freedom and a nation chosen to place a stake in the
future of communism. From his childhood in Dixon, Illinois to his
later years as President of the United States, Ronald Reagan's
religious faith was the single most consistent feature of his life.
In God and Ronald Reagan, Kengor blends groundbreaking research and
fascinating storytelling into a book that will forever change our
understanding of one of the most influential presidents in
history.
