A Pat Robertson Retrospective

Published on April 20, 2008

Bill Sizemore of the Virginian-Pilot has spent much of his career reporting on Pat Robertson, the last alpha male of the old Christian Right. Now he brings all the threads of the story together in "The Christian With Four Aces," a literary essay for the Virginia Quarterly Review. There's nothing new here for those familiar with the bits and pieces of Pat's biography, but it's an excellent synthesis of decades of reporting on a transformative figure in American religious history, one whose influence will likely be felt long after he's "promoted to Heaven."
