David Brooks was struggling with sin. More precisely, he was seeking a way to translate the Christian understanding of sin into secular terms for millions of readers. His emerging specialty, whether in his New York Times column or best-selling books, is distilling dense concepts for the mainstream. An ugly word for that, he notes, is popularizing. On religious topics, some might say proselytizing. He calls it reporting. Explaining Christian theology has bedeviled Brooks for several years now, in writing his latest book, The Road to Character , and in recent columns, much to the bewilderment of readers.
