In case you missed it, here is a link to a short piece, "Salty Dogma" at the World Magazine site that ran a few weeks back. In this article, Gene Veith analyzes a particular conversation between an interviewer and Bono, the lead singer of U2.
He aptly sums up the encounter with these words:
"What is most interesting in this exchange is the reaction of the interviewer, to whom Bono is, in effect, witnessing. This hip rock journalist starts by scorning what he thinks is Christianity. But it is as if he had never heard of grace, the atonement, the deity of Christ, the gospel. And he probably hadn't. But when he hears what Christianity is actually all about, he is amazed."
