Noted constitutional author, Dr. Daniel Dreisbach offered some fascinating new insights on Thomas Jefferson, the third president’s understanding of the First Amendment, and the moral and spiritual conflicts of the election of 1800 in a keynote address tonight before the Witherspoon School of Law and Public Policy meeting in Luray, Virginia. Dresibach is unique among Jefferson scholars because he is a Reformed Christian, the son of missionaries who grew up with no television in Africa, and brings a Christian perspective on history in a field dominated by academics who are by and large at war with God. Dreisbach, who was a Rhodes scholar, received his Ph.D. from Oxford and his J.D. from the University of Virginia. Tapes of the evenings events will be released sometime in the future from Vision Forum.
