By Louis Markos, The Federalist - In 'Beheading Hydra,' priest Dwight Longenecker argues the way to combat selfish and atheistic politics is encouraging Christians to do 'what they can where they are and with what they have.'... Fr. Longenecker has unwoven and exposed that invisible cloak, allowing academic and lay readers alike to see not only its individual strands but how they function together to, quite literally, pull the wool over our eyes. To do so, however, Longenecker employs a more dynamic and memorable metaphor: the multi-headed mythological hydra that grew two new heads each time one of its heads was lopped off.
