Hillary Clinton: committed Christian? What she really believes about God

God and Hillary Clinton

by Paul Kengor

She was raised a Methodist. She led Bible studies and prayer groups throughout her years in the Arkansas Governor's mansion. Yet she has clearly strayed from her spiritual roots, and has even dabbled in New Age mysticism. So is the woman who wants to be our next President really a committed Christian, as she claims? In God and Hillary Clinton: A Spiritual Life, historian Paul Kengor (author of the New York Times Bestseller God and Ronald Reagan) offers the first-ever "spiritual history" of the First Lady, Senator, and presidential candidate. Talking with people who witnessed her faith firsthand, he decisively answers the elusive question: what does Hillary Clinton really believe?

Kengor's exhaustive research intertwines Hillary's spiritual evolution with her personal history. He discusses how her strong Methodist upbringing laid a foundation that led to those Bible studies while she was Arkansas's First Lady. Then he lays bare some of the stranger episodes in her spiritual past -- including the erosion of her faith during the 60s and 70s and her experimentation with New Age psychobabble while in the White House. Exploring how her faith has influenced her secular policies, Kengor determines which of her religious beliefs appear genuine and which seem inspired by a base lust for votes. Kengor scrutinizes in particular her unwavering pro-abortion stance, examining how she reconciles this with her self-proclaimed Christian faith.
