In my last post I outlined how growing up I had come to view the Bible as more or less a divine product that carried divine authority and a divine guarantee to be true (a view that I not only held for many years, but which I later took great effort to learn how to defend with significant intellec...

There have been many surprises in the wake of my Dec. 19 Christianity Today editorial,
in which I questioned President Trump’s moral fitness for office as

into the night.

I cannot.
I cannot breathe.

Sing your anthems.
