» Selected Audio: Sunday Mornings in Plains
[http://speakingoffaith.org/programs/jimmycarter/jimmysbible/player.htm]
Jimmy Carter has taught adult Bible study at Maranatha Baptist Church for 25 years. With a congregation of just 135 members, the church hosts several hundred visitors during Carter's Sunday classes.

If the New Testament's pivotal Sermon on the Mount is true, the journalist prompted him, did that mean that even Jimmy Carter had lusted after women other than his wife in his heart? As Carter recounts in his memoir, Living Faith, he responded candidly, not cannily, and as a result his lead in the election suffered.
