Christianity




Everyone knows Jeff Buckley's rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." But have you ever considered it as a symbol of a Christianity that has the potential of actually working, of achieving a deep authenticity in this age of shallow, feckless religion.

What's great about Buckley's Christianity, if you will, is that it isn't. It is religionless. Heterodox. Honest. Passionate. Searching. Doubtful. Full of transcendent pathos.
