In 2016, I discovered that this famous quote could not be found in any of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s works: Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. The quote attributed to Bonhoeffer was popularized by Eric Metaxas … Continue reading “Eric Metaxas Appears to Minimize His Part in Spreading False Bonhoeffer Quote”
David Barton (left), Eric Metaxas (right) Yesterday, Eric Metaxas tweeted this defense of admitted Russian agent Maria Butina (see my post about her case): It was a forced plea agreement.

What’s going on? The New Yorker planned to interview former Donald Trump strategist, alt-right leader, and nativist Steve Bannon at one of their events and social media erupted with protest and cancellations of subscriptions.

After books on Christian heavyweights Bonhoeffer and Luther, Eric Metaxas tackles the heaviest weight of them all – Donald the Caveman. I haven’t seen a pre-publication copy as yet, but I can only imagine the wonders within this prehistoric prose. I do wonder how Metaxas will delicately handle a full treatment of Donald the Caveman’s … Continue reading “Donald Drains the Swamp – New Book by Eric Metaxas”
As yet another indicator of how far into the alt-right Eric Metaxas has drifted, here is a recent love tweet to British nativist Katie Hopkins. Sweet @KTHopkins is my hero. What she says is true of Trump voters in America. If elites dislike the results of elections and think they can overturn them by any … Continue reading “Eric Metaxas Says Katie Hopkins is His Hero”

Eric Metaxas loves him some Dennis Prager. After Jon Ward’s profile of Metaxas as a Donald Trump supporter came out on Friday, Metaxas heartily recommended Prager’s defense of evangelicals who support Trump on Saturday.
