The Passion, Again

Peter J. Leithart, March 06, 2004

I've read some surprising things in The New Republic: Andrew Sullivan's analysis of the Roman Catholic Church several years ago was very insightful, and Eugene Genovese, reviewing a book on Southern slavery, encouraged TNR's readers to check out the works of James Henley Thornwell. But I've never read so many Bible quotations in TNR as I did this week, in several articles on The Passion.
