Book Description:
|
Using a corpus of family letters, his FBI file, and a series of interviews, Frederick L. Downing portrays Clarence Jordan as a pioneer (on the frontier of the New South), a prophet, and a moral exemplar. The impact of Clarence Jordan on his culture was so strong that forty-five years after his death his legend as a "modern saint" lingers in American society.
