“Wilson’s approach reflects a right-wing attractional model characteristic of partisan punditry and movements, where the foil of political opponents seldom fades from view.

Douglas Wilson’s response to Russell Moore

Russell Moore: What Martin Luther King Jr. Can Still Teach the Church

“We must distinguish the Christian faith once delivered from a generic American civil religion. That is foundational.
