"The opportunity to step into the role occupied by my father, grandfather and great-grandfather is overwhelming," Stephen Jones, 35, said. "I am eager for the days that lie ahead for Bob Jones University and believe that the Lord has wonderful things in store for us as we remain faithful to his word."
In a congratulatory letter after Bush won re-election in November, Jones III wrote:
"In your re-election, God has graciously granted America — though she doesn't deserve it — a reprieve from the agenda of paganism."
"You have been given a mandate. ... Put your agenda on the front burner and let it boil. You owe the liberals nothing. They despise you because they despise your Christ," said the letter.
