Passion: More Than a Feeling

My essay on passion, drawing on that word’s traditional definition (= suffering) and contrasting it with another word from the same root, passive, in an exploration for the Christian observation of Lent. This essay is based on a chapter in my 25 year-old Lent Devotional, Bright Sadness, and has just been published on Christianity Today, at the beginning of Holy Week, 2025.
