The Importance of Suffering

As the guest instructor in the Unregistered Academy course on the Bible, Paul VanderKlay spoke with me and our students about Christian asceticism and what he calls Christ's command to "colonize history." It was far and away the most illuminating and moving conversation I have had on the subject of religion.
