a: contemporary America ~
b: a koan
What:
Mr. Prothero suggests that contemporary America is like what Zen Buddhism calls a koan , a paradoxical riddle. "That riddle is not, as Ms. Eck's subtitle goes, 'How a "Christian Country" Has Become the World's Most Religiously Diverse Nation.' It is instead how America has managed to become both a Christian country and a multireligious society at the same time."
