2012 Shurden Lectures explore American history

May 16, 2012 | Filed under: Religious Press Releases | Posted by:

Strong defense of the separation of church and state and religious liberty is necessary today because of the false claims of so-called evangelical historians and their concerted effort to re-write history, said Purdue University history professor Frank Lambert in a series of lectures sponsored by the Baptist Joint Committee April 17-18 on the Mercer University campus.

Lambert’s three presentations, comprising the annual Walter B. and Kay W. Shurden Lectures on Religious Liberty and Separation of Church and State (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=35 Itemid=58), addressed three claims made by the “ultra conservative, highly partisan sectarians” that play the role of historians.

“They have all the answers. No historical examination is necessary,” Lambert said in a mocking tone.
