In case you were asking (and admit it, you were asking), The Times reveals the religious background of Jonathan Krohn, the 14-year-old conservative author and wunderkind: His mother is Jewish, but “decades ago” became a Baptist. Krohn is home-schooled, but attends a Christian academy on Fridays.

“Before I got into politics,” Jonathan said as he sat with his parents in the study of their home, “I wanted to be a missionary to people in the Middle East. I thought it would be better to speak with them in their own language.” The family are active members of Peachtree Corners Baptist Church in Norcross, Ga….

 Last spring, as the presidential campaign was in full roar, Jonathan decided the term conservatism was so misused that he needed to write a book explaining it. He received a computer from his maternal grandfather for his 13th birthday. “In the Jewish culture in which my mom was raised, 13 is a big deal,” he said. “But since I’m a Jewish Christian, I don’t do a bar mitzvah.”
