as i mentioned earlier, he was blacklisted by j edgar hoover. he could not have any connection with stevenson through that channel. but then he did manage to get himself into the army. general smith the director of the cia in the war had the responsibility trying to deal with war criminals. he put them in charge of an office to track down and he did a great job. he applied computer technology to tracing down the suspects. that was a job he did in paris. so he had no connection with stevenson and that, he did good work in the war in spite of the efforts. >> that was true in paris? >> guest: yes. one of the questions was what did he do in paris? so after he was? sue to first of all there is the war, he looks -- networks for the army the united nations for agency which help track down not the war criminals. when he finished he became security guy, the billionaire who lived in france. he did a little bit of work a happy retirement. especially amongst american muslim veterans who lived in paris. the dismissal with prejudice in the 1960s, hoover final

first, j. edgar hoover himself. examining the role of faith in the life of j. edgar hoover reveals hoover became a central figure in american religion, that america's faith expressed in beliefs and symbols and rituals in the public sphere. without looking at the religion in the life of j. ed guard hoover we'll miss a number of things. for example, in his childhood did i list they show as well as the experiences of a teenage sunday schoolteacher and he also explored a call to ministry. all of this reveals how religion shaped hoover's world view lock before he became the director of the fbi. his faith remained while he became the director of the fbi. he was a trusty and a member of the national presbyterian church, sharing a pew with president eisenhower and john douglas and he remained a pastor for the remainder of his life. all that have reveals hoover's calvinistic view of america showed how he understood america and how he understand and executed his job in protecting america. this is evident in his speeches, the books in which he began framing patriotic chri

edgar hoover and still stay in business. pearson conceded that he would have stood no chance against the secret police in moscow if he had been a russian. after the column took a stance against joseph mccarthy, his friendship had ended. and the fbi files were filled with lots of really nasty comments that hoover used to write in the columns about drew pearson. the fbi cut off pearson from its information, except occasionally what when the bureau still found it useful to leak something. another government agency was the u.s. state department. drew pearson had started as a diplomatic correspondent and always kept a close eye on the foreign in service. he collected so much information about the state department that secretary of state kordell once began a meeting by asking, are we talking for this room or for pearson? the columnist benefited from sources high and low within the state department. particularly from sumner wells. they promoted his career and he provided information and also confirmed the news that pearson had pick

how j. edgar hoover understood it, for example. perhaps this can help to us to avoid our own understandings of religion or even sort of reading into our actors, our own biases as it relates to religion. finally, and second, perhaps another thing that hinders the er study of religion in political history is the idea that the study of religion is exclusively confessional. this idea that the popular notion among scholars and the broader public that for those who study religion are not only themselves religious and pious, but also are studying religion as apologists and perhaps to promote the faith and defend the faith. few understand that religion like race, sexuality, gender, can be approached as a subject and tool of historical inquiry. for this very reason i must confess i often avoid discussing my research when i'm on planes, trains, automobiles, and other casual venues. ordinarily people see me reading a text and if it has anything to do with religion they feel free to ask me any type of theological question that has plagued them
