    • 2021 December 23,Peter Wehner, “Why Jesus Never Stopped Asking Questions”, inThe New York Times[1]:
      Philip Yancey, the author, most recently, of the memoir “Where the Light Fell,” said that “the aspect of Jesus’ style that stands out to me is how unpropagandistic he was. Imagine: He knew the truth more than anyone who has lived and could have responded with dogma and fiat, as the church so often has done in his place. Instead, he was anything but anarm twister.”
