It's Advent: time for me to tell you what I really think! This week I consider Prophecy: Biblical, Political, the Chosen One, and the ways it can be misread for the sake of idolatrous power games. It's a bit of a departure from my thesis about Vader and the Crucifixion, but it never hurts to consider another angle.


I get some help from Bill Cavanaugh's article on Nationalism and Idolatry.


Thanks for listening, and MTFBWY
