A friend sent me this editorial from Touchstone magazine, and I hope some will appreciate the comments on “historical inevitability” and how, like Athanasias, Christians are called to station themselves on the “wrong” side of “history.”
Author Anthony Esolen argues that “If we believe that 'God is love,' not that God happens to favor us, but that in his inner life God is himself love, we owe that belief to the inflexible fidelity of Athanasius” and that “The Lord does not require that we win. He requires that we be steadfast. The battle is not ours but his.” Touchstone Archives: Stand Firm
