Religion and art: So, how Jewish was Modigliani?
During time of great anti-Semitism, artist delved into his identity. Modigliani was raised in Livorno in northern Italy, which had welcomed Jews for centuries. The Modiglianis, cultured and upper-class, identified both as Italians and Jews and followed the teachings of the rabbi Elia Benamozegh, who preached a utopian universalism looking ahead to the uniting of all faiths in one Jewish-flavored brotherhood. Although Modigliani's religious education was traditional - he would sometimes chant the kaddish prayer for mourners when he was depressed - he was essentially secular, spoke fluent French and looked gentile: He easily could have "passed." But he chose not to.

Is There an Evangelical Crisis?
"Baylor professor Alan Jacobs responded to a question about where younger evangelical intellectual life is going by saying that “as far as I can tell, where young evangelicals are headed is simply out of evangelicalism.” Meaning that they will either go along with the drift of their elders and become church-of-American-greatness heretics, or else they will return to “older liturgical traditions,” Catholic and Orthodox and Anglican, and cease to identify with evangelicalism entirely."
