Born-Again Christian Charles Colson can't help describing his new friendship with Eldridge Cleaver in biblical terms: "We're like Matthew the tax collector and Simon the Zealot, two unlikely people who came together loving one another." Jokes Cleaver: "He's the kind of man I used to put on my dart board." Colson, 45, a former White House aide who served seven months in jail for his part in Watergate, and Cleaver, 41, who still faces a murder rap for his part in a 1968 Black Panther Shootout, met a year ago at a religious...

The auto-da-fe-the parade and ritual sentencing of Jews and heretics, sometimes followed by spectacular public burnings -was not abolished in Lisbon until...
...Prodigal Son parable not while debating with scribes and Pharisees but while he is scandalizing the Jewish folk by eating at the house of Matthew the tax collector, and he uses the story to reconcile Matthew with Peter (James Farentino). Some scenes, like Jesus' debate with the Zealot Barabbas about political violence, are not in the Bible at all but are faithful to Jesus' teachings...
