I’m guessing we’ve all heard Jesus’ words bunches of times before: “If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he apologizes, forgive him. Even if he sins against you seven time and turns round seven times and says ‘sorry’ to you, you must forgive him.” Luke 17:3-4 I love how Tom (N.T.) Wright,…

NOTE: Over the coming days Andrew Sullivan and I will be engaging in a dialogue/discussion/letter exchange regarding his new book, The Conservative Soul, and my book, Tempting Faith. For those who do not know him, Andrew is one of today’s most formidable and provocative social and political commentators. He also edits “The Daily Dish,” one…

Peter Steinfels in The New York Times yesterday wrote a very nice piece on my book . What I appreciate so much about the piece is that Steinfels captures what I the book is really about: “As much as it is a story about politics, it is also a story about faith. ‘I set out…

I have read every comment and again thank everyone who…

Need to be going to sleep, but just finished doing a small segment on “Real Time with Bill Maher.” Like most of these interviews, I was piped in via satellite, so I wasn’t actually in the studio. But I was struck by this: At some point, in response to a question, I said that yes,…

I got back home tonight and went to what I thought was just a small book signing in DC. It was–with the exception that C-SPAN was filming it. It was fun to have a stage to myself and be able to read from parts of the book so important to me–the extraordinary encounter with Hillary…

Not that every good, smart and spiritually significant thing can be found among Beliefnet-associated people, but here is yet another example of Beliefnet’s great taste: Columnist Amy Sullivan, who also does stuff for other lesser outlets like “The New Republic,” posts this about the reaction to my book. Amy, often found on Jim Wallis’ God’s…
