Quote for the Day:

And yet the Jesus at the heart of Prison Fellowship is not the commonplace Christ of mainstream evangelicalism, but a distinct entity growing out of Colson's political past and his subsequent philosophical passions. Colson's work is shot through with a cagey regard for Plato's "noble lie," by which the elite must govern masses who don't know what's good for them, and a reverence for "leadership" as a semimystical quality bequeathed to a small elect who already possess the kind of confidence others might call arrogance. The idealization of strength that manifests itself even in Colson's peculiar sense of humor is the foundation of Colson's faith.
