...federal funds and turn the money over to parents in the form of vouchers, allowing them to send their kids to private school. He satisfies the right by praising conservative Supreme Court stalwarts Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas but sticks by his pledge not to use a pro-life "litmus test" in picking court nominees. And even as he promises tax cuts, a G.O.P. staple, he swears he will work hard to close the gap between society's "haves and have-nots...
...translated the Greek texts of Mark and John, then wrote his own narrative in Three Gospels (1996). We asked Price, a prolific novelist (Kate Vaiden, the trilogy A Great Circle, Roxanna Slade and the forthcoming children's novel A Perfect Friend), to take another look at episodes in Jesus' life and craft a new Gospel based on the historical evidence and his reading of the Bible.

In any case, to the surprise of my doctors, I've survived without apparent return of the cancer, and my life is more rewarding and productive than before that washing in Galilee. My lifelong sense that Jesus of Nazareth stood in a unique and redeeming relation to the Creator of this universe at least has intensified, though I have felt no right to claim intimacy with him. As for so many others...
