Fittingly for a country that very closely resembles a dystopian nightmare, the supposed nuclear test has occurred under circumstances that are diplomatically defined as “vague” but are probably more accurately defined as “bizarre.” What is clear as of the writing of this column is that something exploded underground on Oct. 8. Whether it was a full-out nuclear explosion, a failed test, or simply a hoax—some have speculated the always-wily North Koreans simply stockpiled a lot of TNT and blew it up—remains...

He becomes a model of fidelity to God, and his great faith is rewarded through future generations. And yet it is fair to say that if any of us saw a 21st century Abraham raising the knife on the roof of his apartment building, we would call the police; we would wrestle him down; even if we saw him lower the knife at the last minute, we would expect the Department of Children...
