Brummett follows up today on the Garry Wills op-ed that drew so much comment here, about how the people who try to appropriate Jesus for political purposes — on either end of the spectrum — have missed the point. Doesn’t mean people aren’t served by trying to emulate Him, the columnist notes.

P.S. Wills will be in Little Rock for the Arkansas Literary Festival, Apr. 21-23.

Retired senior editor of the Arkansas Times.
