The men are really angry now.

They were angry in 1957 too. The film 12 Angry Men has much to teach us about our cultural moment and the antidote to anger. My latest over at Mockingbird.

“Grace is always ‘despite’ and not ‘because of’ the human condition. God’s gracious action is never ‘consequently’ but always ‘nevertheless.’ It is life from the dead and the justification of the ungodly not the reward of the righteous.” — Karl Barth
