At Charlie Kirk's memorial, religion and MAGA politics combine
Shortly before the speaking program began at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday (Sept. 21) to kick off the massive memorial service honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a group of prominent Christian musicians onstage sang a rendition of the hymn “It Is Well with My Soul.”

Reading John 11 with Cyril of Alexandria
oes Christology inform our understanding of Holy Scripture? The Christian tradition affirms that Christ is one person with two natures, and these two natures are not united to one another. As the Chalcedonian Definition affirms, they do not mix or comingle. Rather, Christ’s divine and human natures are united hypostatically, that is, in the one person of Christ. Christ always acts as one person, but some of his acts are proper to the divine nature and others to his human nature. This is the basic claim made by the church father Cyril of Alexandria (d.444) in his important book On the Unity of Christ. But what does this have to do with reading Holy Scripture? If Christ is one person, does a two-nature Christology have anything to say about how we should read Holy Scripture? Cyril shows that it does.
