At a service in Germany in 1968, Elizabeth Sherrill heard two speakers. The first was a man who had been a prisoner of a concentration camp. He had been brutalized and starved; his father and a brother had died in the camp. The man's faced and body told the story more eloquently than his words: pain-haunted eyes, shaking hands that could not forget.

God's love is the love since it is the only original love. We would prefer it to be simple. We can see this in the fact that most of the population wants religion to be simple. Why? They don't really want it. Well, they want it about as much as they want a toaster. They want it to sit there on the counter, not taking up too much space, not making...
