    Modern Fathers: Neither Wimps nor Tyrants

    There have always been good fathers and bad fathers. But never before in history has the role of fathers been as undefined as it is today. Hardly anyone who becomes a father is entering the race with a religious, cultural or educational assignment.

    The pleasing virtues of Angela Merkel and Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer

    It is gratifying that in Germany politicians who neither suck their honey from making other politicians look bad nor pay constant attention to their media image can still be successful.

  • With Billy Grahams son Franklin, only a few days before his father died

    Billy Graham’s advice to me

    As a young man, I had the rare chance to meet Billy Graham personally. I asked him what he would do differently if he could Iive over again. He replied that before becoming a Christian leader, he would have invested much more time in studying the Bible in depth and being discipled by a respected Bible teacher.

    My Teacher Heinrich Leonard Cox (1935–2016)

    My teacher Heinrich Leonard Cox (1935–2016) died on September 6, 2016, a few weeks after his 81st birthday. Since far too few obituaries have appeared, I would like to remember him once again.
