In this episode, we have a conversation with Dr. Obbie Todd about the surprising spectrum of political views among early American Baptists. We discuss the range of Baptist perspectives on religious liberty, the historical context that shaped them, and why those conversations still matter today. Obbie is the Teaching Pastor and Theologian in Residence at Cross Community Church in Beaufort, South Carolina. He serves as adjunct professor of theology at Luther Rice College & Seminary and adjunct professor of church history at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Obbie holds a B.A. from the University of Kentucky, an M.Div. and a Th.M. from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
