Randall Balmer A prize-winning historian and Emmy Award nominee, Randall Balmer earned a PhD from Princeton University in 1985 and taught as professor of American religious history at Columbia University for twenty-seven years before becoming the John Phillips Professor of American Religion at Dartmouth College in 2012. He has been a visiting professor at Princeton, Yale, Northwestern, and Emory universities and in the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. He has published widely in both scholarly journals and in the popular press. His op-ed articles have appeared in newspapers across the country, including the Los Angeles Times, the Des Moines Register, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Dallas Morning News, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the New York Times. His work has also appeared in the New Republic, the New York Times Book Review, the Nation, and the Washington Post Book World.Mr. Balmer has published more than a dozen books, including God in the White House: How Faith Shaped the Presidency from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush and The Making of Evangelicalism: From Revivalism to Politics and Beyond. His second book, Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory: A Journey into the Evangelical Subculture in America, now in its fourth edition, was made into an award-winning, three-part documentary for PBS. Mr. Balmer wrote and hosted that series. He has lectured around the country in such venues as the Commonwealth Club of California and the Chautauqua Institution and, under the auspices of the State Department, in Austria and Lebanon.Mr. Balmer, an Episcopal priest, lives in Vermont and New Mexico with his wife, Catharine Randall, who is also a priest and a professor.Lee B. Groberg Lee Groberg has produced and directed a number of documentary films over the past twenty-five years, including American Gunmaker, Treasure House, Trail of Hope, American Prophet, Sacred Stone, America's Choir, Sweetwater Rescue, Fires of Faith, and First Freedom, all produced for public television. Narrators for his films have included Gregory Peck, Hal Holbrook, Fess Parker, Walter Cronkite, Geoffrey Palmer, Brian Stokes Mitchell, and Ed Ames. First Freedom is one of the more rewarding film projects he has worked on. This companion book reflects many of the images from the film and includes comments from the academic scholars featured in the film. Regarding his work on the film, Lee remarked, It has been my pleasure to work on a story that has spiritual implications in all of our lives. These founding fathers did not share a single faith, but I feel that they were directed by a divine force that helped them establish a country where all could worship in freedomor even feel free to not worship at all. That is the beauty of our guaranteed right of religious liberty. I thank my wife, Jeanine, for her unflagging support and devotion as together, we tackle these very meaningful film and book projects.
