Too many Americans, including those who are Christians, are trying to discern the present moment
by only knowing about the present moment. Cable news and social media are hardly adequate to understand the times in which we live. The longer view which is afforded by the past is crucial for wise living. As Timothy George says, “There’s a lot that happened between the death of Jesus and the birth of your grandma that you ought to know.”
