https://baptistnews.com/article/30-year ... dPzhYWcEdUMohler shows no sign of engaging Molly Worthen. Like Tucker Carlson uses the most expedient framework available to justify himself and his ill gotten influence. I have more respect for Gray Allison than I do for Mohler and that aint a whole lot.
As for Grady Cothen, at Jack Harwell's recommendation, Cothen stopped my house for a couple mid afternoon hours in early 90s. I remember going in the Collinsville Baptist Church and the shock of the local pastor, a former student at Southern Seminary seeing Cothen there as my guest to use the copy machine for some papers I had Cothen found valuable. The Pastor was quite gracious that day. Cothen told me he a few weeks earlier had told the Director of the Sunday School board Pressler and Helms were getting rid of to usher in the age of Trump, to take everything he could get out of the charlatans, Lloyd Elder.
Cothen is a good fellow, but like others he missed the point, the one that registered with Harold Bloom and North Carolina's Bill Friday and Cecil Sherman, to wit the whole shenanigan was a Know Nothing poltical movement masquerading as religion conviction.
Read Molly Worthen Closely. She gets it. And what she doesn't spell out for the feeble minded, Wuthnow in Rough Country drives home for all but the most incorrigible illiterate.
