My Dad Got "Published!"

The following is the content of a letter to the editor from my father that was published in the April 10, 2007 issue of the Wichita Eagle

Anti-Christian bias

Regarding the Easter Sunday headline "Faith unshaken: As new findings challenge the resurrection, most Christians say science won't sway their core beliefs" (April 8 Eagle): I find it somewhat ironic that the seeming unquestioned acceptance of a headline-seeking motion picture producer and his cronies is considered science.

Buried in the article was the fact that some serious archaeologists raised strong objections and questions about the research that was behind the spectacular, made-for-TV show.

The obvious bias against the evidence of the historical record -- not only as presented in the Gospels but in masses of literature from the Roman and Greek world of the first and second centuries, much of which was written by those opposed to the new sect that came to be known as Christianity -- is patent in both the documentary and in The Eagle's headline.

There is more manuscript evidence for the resurrection as presented in the Bible than for the existence of Plato.

That's my hero!
