Bush to the Tea Party and Donald Trump, it shows that the party's lurch to the far right was the product of a volatile mix of a disorganized party structure and a divided and fractious class of American business owners.

Although these characteristics may appear mutually exclusive, in fact they were mutually constitutive.

The Psalms of the Hebrew Bible testify to a rich, complicated life—150 stories from a people passionate and honest about the complexities of human experience. The psalmists were creative, openhearted musicians who composed and sang with their community. Their lyrics reveal that they struggled with God and wrestled with their place in the world.

This model depicts a fragile God who demands praise and is disappointed in brokenness.
