Is Barack Obama a Christian? Rod has all the links to the various participants in the controversy. My view is this: the President-elect claims to be a Christian, and I take him — I think I have to take him — at his word. Could he be lying? Could he be self-deceived? Could he have a limited or ...

Obama's Faith
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
Joe Carter accuses me of not reading his orginal post on Obama's Christianity, Alan Jacobs defends Obama's faith, and Larison gets into the theological history. Freddie also responds here.
