Methodism in the public and private lives of the politician After
more than forty contentious years in the public eye, Hillary Rodham
Clinton is one of the best-known political figures in the nation.
Yet many of her admirers would be surprised to hear Clinton state
that her Methodist outlook has “been a huge part of who I am and
how I have seen the world, and what I believe in, and what I have
tried to do in my life.” Gary Scott Smith examines the role of
Clinton’s faith in her life and work. Clinton’s lifelong
Methodism shaped a missionary zeal that, combined with her
impressive personal talents, fueled many of her high-profile
political endeavors while helping her cope with the prominent
travails brought on by never-ending conservative rancor and her
husband’s infidelity. Smith places Clinton’s faith within the
context of projects ranging from healthcare reform to a “Hillary
doctrine” of foreign policy focused on her longtime goal of
providing basic human rights for children and women. The result is
an enlightening reconsideration of an extraordinary political
figure who has defied private doubts and public controversy to live
the Methodist dictum that one must “do all the good you can.”
