Zondervan has published a study Bible<\/a>\"\" based on former president Jimmy Carter\u2019s Sunday school notes: \u00a0 :<\/p>\n

Jimmy Carter, peanut farmer turned president turned globe-trotting humanitarian, now has another line to add to his business card: Bible commentator. Last week Carter published a Lessons from Life Study Bible, with the subtitle Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter.<\/p>\n

With many Democrats embracing the language of faith in recent years in an attempt to win back so-called values voters from the Republican column, Carter\u2019s intense faith life is a good reminder that hardly all Democrats are new to the pew.<\/p>\n

\nSince he returned to Plains, Georgia, from Washington after losing his re-election bid to Ronald Reagan in 1980, Carter has taught Sunday school at the local Maranatha Baptist Church, \u201cabout 685 times so far,\u201d he says.\n

His notes in the new study Bible pull from years of Sunday school lessons. \u201cLike the disciples, we should not be proud, seek an ascendant position or argue about who\u2019s the greatest among us,\u201d he notes in reflecting on a passage from the Gospel of Mark in which Jesus\u2019 followers are debating who among them is the greatest. . . .<\/p>\n

Christian publishing house Zondervan compiled the study Bible, which combines Carter\u2019s teachings and notes with the New International Bible Study Bible.<\/p>\n

Features: * The full text of the clear, accessible NIV translation * Foreword by Jonathan Reckford, International CEO of Habitat for Humanity * Bible in Life notes: short, application-oriented notes on particular verses * In Focus Articles: longer articles on particular topics * Short prayers of application on select passages * Reflections: brief one-sentence sayings and quotations by Jimmy Carter * Presentation page<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Why?\u00a0 Who would buy this?\u00a0 Is there reason to think that the former president has any special knowledge about Scripture?\u00a0 I also would not buy a Ronald Reagan Study Bible.\u00a0 To look to a politician as our expositor of Scripture gives me major cognitive dissonance.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/blockquote><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
