By Peter Montgomery

…, whatever organised religion may say, our way of loving is right. No holy communion is more holy than the human communion of two people in love.

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…ic battle. At the end of the piece, the couple return to their fundamental commitment of faith: their acceptance of God’s often mysterious ways. Since their son has elected to become a football quarterback, not a preacher, the terms of the original Philippine prayer (terms set by the father himself, not God the Father) would seem to have been altered. Then the couple catch themselves, and remind us that their son is a preacher, in his way, as a pi…

Apocalypse Now and Then: How a Biblical Genre Shapes American Politics

By Christopher Douglas

…tures their sense of the disorder of the last half century as they’ve been compelled to share cultural and political power with other groups. As it did centuries ago, apocalypse channels the persecuted group’s fear, focusing their resentment and properly directing their anger.
