I have worked during the Advent season to avoid writing my weekly column about politics.
Dozens claimed to be the Christ, but only Jesus is remembered and worshiped as the Christ. Why?
F. F. Bruce is one of those scholars I have had to spend a lot of time reading in seminary.
In our hyper-partisan age, it seems every newspaper and magazine writes columns on dealing with crazy uncles at holiday parties and their crazy conspiracies. But it is true.
I love the holiday season, but it overwhelms me. I get depressed putting the lights up. I get depressed taking the lights down.
Had John C. Fremont not run as a Republican in 1856, there would probably would have been no Lincoln in 1860. The Republican Party formed in the 1850s with the collapse of the Whig Party.
Both political parties in Washington can look at last week's election results and find encouragement. Democrats who see their victories as a sign that Donald Trump will be a one-term president should ask Mitt Romney how that turned out for him after the Republican wave of 2010.

One of the most striking things about the age of Trump is that Democrats have convinced themselves all the misogynists, racists, anti-Semites and moral cretins are on the right and everyone on the left is either pure as the driven snow or their motives can be explained away.
On Wednesday, The New York Times released a piece by a "senior official" in the Trump White House. Do not let "senior" fool you. This could be a deputy-level staffer, an undersecretary or someone else at a lower level than chief of staff, vice president and Cabinet secretary.
"Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and perceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and last some crisis shows what we have become," said Brooke Foss Westcott, the British bishop of Durham in the late 1800s.
