Richard Land
Wednesday, August 6
Princeton (A.B.) and Oxford
(D.Phil.) educated, Dr. Richard Land has served as president
of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty
Commission since 1988. During his tenure as representative for
the largest Protestant denomination in the country, Dr. Land
has represented Southern Baptist and other Evangelicals' concerns
in the halls of Congress, before U.S. Presidents, and in the
media. In 2005, Dr. Land was featured in Time Magazine as one
of "The Twenty-five Most Influential Evangelicals in America."
As host of For Faith & Family,
For Faith & Family's Insight, and Richard Land Live! -- three
nationally syndicated radio programs -- Dr. Land speaks passionately
and authoritatively on the social, ethical, and public policy
issues facing our country. The For Faith & Family Broadcast
Ministry is heard by listeners each week on over 600 radio stations
across the country and throughout the world on the Internet.
In his latest book, The Divided States of America? What Liberals
and Conservatives are Missing in the God-and-Country Shouting
Match!, Dr. Land takes those on the right and the left to task
for misstating God's role in America's affairs, suggesting instead
that it is possible to "affirm and practice belief in God
while simultaneously practicing a rigorous separation of church
and state." Executive Editor of FFV, a national magazine
dedicated to coverage of traditional religious values, Christian
ethics, and cultural trends, he has also recently authored Imagine!
A God-Blessed America and Real Homeland Security. |
