Over at Jesus Creed, RJS has a post on whom to trust and how to avoid getting duped<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bob Cargill discusses the following partly apocryphal \u201cquote\u201d<\/a> from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.:<\/p>\n

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Tom Verenna has some short direct answers to some questions<\/a> that people have been asking online, in search strings that have brought them to his blog. The questions are about whether Osama bin Laden is mentioned in the Bible, whether his death is in there, and how the Bible relates to him and his death. The answers Tom gives seem to me to be as succinct as possible without sacrificing accuracy, and so I\u2019ll just direct those searching for answers to such questions to his blog.<\/p>\n

Also in related news, there is an article at The Bible and Interpretation<\/i><\/a> about the physical characteristics of early canonical and extracanonical Gospels.<\/p>\n
