“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” In the New Testament, there are few moments as prolific as the Lord’s defense of the adulteress woman. Yet, after dispelling the Pharisees with those wise and striking words, God does not simply leave the woman alone. “Neither do I condemn you” He says, alluding to the ...
I found myself in a very unexpected position earlier this week. I was approached by our publisher with the exciting yet daunting new concept of writing a column for this very magazine. I was honored and eagerly agreed to participate in this noble project. But as I sat down to begin, with the blank page ...
The year 2024 was one of surprises, and its dramatic conclusion, the capitulation of the Syrian Arab Republic, is only but a singular example of this trend.
