The poll's margin of error means the race is a statistical dead heat, but the trend is ominous for Bush.

He adds a chapter in which his erudition and imagination take a leap into an unexplored moment after Christ's Resurrection...
...only substantial biographical sources are the New Testament Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, brief documents written in colloquial Greek late in the generation of those who knew Jesus first- or secondhand.
