biblical

Russell Vought, the architect of Project 2025, is a Christian nationalist who believes the federal government's job is to impose a "biblical worldview" by fiat, which means sidestepping the House, whose members face biennial accountability with voters.

At the center of this scheme is an effort to replace the existing federal bureaucracy with "an army of people who have a biblical worldview" and a willingness to "lead with reckless abandon."

In their purest form, Las Posadas depict the biblical story of Joseph and Mary and the search for shelter at the time of Jesus’ birth.

Over the centuries it evolved to focus less on sin and more on the themes of love and hope embedded in the Biblical story of Jesus’ birth that begins with Mary’s willingness to open her womb to the son of God and ends when the three wise men come to visit the new baby in a manger.

Cecilia González-Andrieu, professor of theology at Loyola Marymount University and co-chair of the LMU Latino Theology and Ministry Initiative, said the core of the religious practice of Advent is to put oneself into the lives of the Biblical characters Mary and Joseph and imagine what it would be like to prepare to receive the child of God.
