    Judge Awards Embattled Christian, Conservative Prof $50K – and a Promotion

    I don't see anything particularly coy about what I wrote. What might those 'views and principals' be? Ought to be obvious. As an educational employee of a secular educational institution, the acceptance and endorsment of the naturalistic and scientific view of the universe as a natural...

    No Forgery Evidence Seen in "Gospel of Jesus's Wife" Papyrus
