I knew Dr. Marty in my life of long ago and I had no idea he was still alive until today’s obituary. If some religion topic was in the news, especially if it involved an American religious tradition, he was the guest on the interview programs.
In addition to his scholarship, I remember two things about him: relatively short and he ALWAYS was wearing a bowtie.
“The Southern Baptist Tradition at its best is one that doesn’t want merging of church and state,” Marty said. “And all you ever have to do to someone like Carter is to remind him that he might be tilting that way and he would back off very fast.”
My how times have changed.
