University of Findlay and Bluffton University Presents John Fea’s “Roads Not Taken: How Evangelicals Embraced MAGA”
FINDLAY, Ohio—John Fea, Ph.D., a professor of history at Messiah University, will present “Roads Not Taken: How Evangelicals Embraced MAGA” on Tuesday, Feb. 4 at Bluffton University and the University of Findlay.
Fea will speak at 11 a.m. in Bluffton’s Yoder Recital Hall and at 7 p.m. in Old Main, Ritz Auditorium at the University of Findlay.
The 1998 impeachment of President Bill Clinton marked a pivotal moment in American political and religious discourse. In this lecture, Fea, author of “Believe Me: The Evangelical Road to Donald Trump,” examines the “roads not taken” by American evangelicals during this watershed period.
The event is a collaboration between the University of Findlay and Bluffton University, sponsored by the University of Findlay’s Freed Contemporary Christian Lecture Series and Bluffton’s Keeney Peace Lectureship. Sharing similar roots as institutions founded in Christian faith, the lecture event demonstrates the cooperative and shared interests in faith and learning for both Universities.
The Freed Christian lecture series was endowed in 2010 by the late Mr. and Mrs. DeBow Freed to promote a Christian-centered ethos, respect for multiple faith traditions in an increasingly pluralistic world, civility of expression, excellence and rigor of thought, humility, compassion, and service.
Bluffton’s Keeney Peace Lectureship was established in 1978 by the family of William Sr. and Kathryn Keeney to express appreciation for Bluffton’s influence and to strengthen the continuing peace witness among the community.
This event is free and open to the public.
