SDN got it exactly right — Tony Snow was a very, very good example of a true disciple of Jesus Christ. The adjectives you read about Tony Snow — “decent,” “gentle,” “humane” — those are all mere reflections of the person he was, and *that* was a product of his discipleship to Jesus Christ.
Tony was a changed man *because* of Christ. Tony Snow reflected the glory of Christ in every moment of his existence. That, I would suggest, is what “Christianity” is all about — projecting the very goodness of Christ himself into the mire that is humanity, and doing it with a graciousness that was in fact INhuman; by that I mean not merely of Tony’s making, but Christ’s, through Tony.
I can think of no better tribute to Tony Snow than to say this: When I look at him, I see Christ.
