Here’s some good pre-4th of July reading for you from Historian Thomas S. Kidd. Dr. Kidd is a professor at Baylor, an expert in early American history and is the author of a new biography of George Whitefield that is due out this autumn.

Hint: One of them is the only active clergyman and college president to sign the Declaration of Independence (and Kevin DeYoung is doing his PhD on him!).Thomas Kidd on Five Forgotten Founding Fathers

My own arrival in that situation was not entirely sudden for I had heard and read of it beforehand, but it has still left me with a degree of wonder. The place was Louisville, Kentucky, in April of this year. I had not been in a city before where I was stopped in the street,…
