The dam has broken: Some evangelical Christians are turning against Donald Trump in the immediate wake of his impeachment by the House of Representatives. This was bound to happen, as Trump is the least likely man in the known universe to support if you wish to take into account the example and teachings of Jesus. But I didn't expect the reversal to come with such thunder, from Christianity Today, a flagship publication of the evangelical movement.
Jay Parini This magazine represents the movement in a profound way. It was founded by Billy Graham himself in 1956, and it's been a beacon for evangelicals. My father, who was a Baptist minister, waited eagerly for its arrival in the mail, and I did as well. Over the years, I've admired its consistently level-headed approach to Christianity as a faith that must bear upon the actions of the individual.
