If the Trump presidency is allowed to define evangelical attitudes toward political power, the public witness of Christianity will be undermined in durable ways.

Chaotic leadership can inflict real trauma on political and civic culture.

The Republicans who have so far stood in lock step with Mr. Trump, defending him at every turn, need to ask themselves whether they want to continue to be complicit in this institutional assault.

Of the many things people worried about before President Trump took office, it turned out that the main problem was his incompetence rather than his authoritarian tendencies — at least so far.

EPPC Senior Fellow Peter Wehner discusses pain, suffering and the Christian faith.

The resurrection, celebrated by Christians throughout the world on Easter Sunday, was made possible only by an act of unsurpassed humility. Yet humility is hardly a hallmark of American Christianity, especially (but by no means exclusively) among those Christians prominently involved in politics.

All things may eventually be made new again, but in this life even wounds that heal leave scars.

One of the concerns those of us who are conservative had about the right rallying around Donald Trump is that he would have a degrading effect on conservatism itself. It hasn’t taken much time for those concerns to be realized.

For Mr. Trump, nothing is sacred. The truth is malleable, instrumental, subjective. It is all about him.

In many ways Barack Obama and Donald Trump could not be more different. Yet one cannot make sense of the incoming presidency without understanding the failures of the outgoing one.

That Barack Obama would exit his presidency with one final betrayal of Israel is a shameful act by the most relentlessly anti-Israeli president in American history.

The Son of God became not just the author of the human drama but an actor in it.
