Harrison Scott Key of WORLD is agonizing over how to relate the Christian to the State, using the philosophy of Pat Robertson's Regent University as the sulfur for the match.

Are we to be sectarian separatists, compromising realists, or triumphaslistic dominionists?

Whoever can answer that question – in speech form, book form, whatever – will have done a great service to us all. I'm reading (or have read) everything from Russell Kirk to Neuhaus to Schaeffer to Shelby Foote (for crying out loud) trying to figure it out.

I would love to write a book on this. Perhaps. In time.

For now, read this one.
