At the end of a day where James Cameron (JC) presented his best case for finding “Jesus’ tomb,” it can once more be clearly stated that Jesus Christ (JC) is in no particular danger of being dethroned as the King of Kings. The Jerusalem Post quotes Amos Kloner, a former Jerusalem District archaeologist who compiled…

I have a dear friend who loves – loves – the Red Sox. Generally he can tell you whether a particular player had enough fiber on the previous day. He recently thought of naming his son Matsusaka after the Red Sox new hotshot pitcher Daisuke Matsusaka. That would sound odd given his Germanic surname. He…

I’ll be on Tucker Carlson’s show on MSNBC at 4:45pm… tune in.

I can almost see the conversation that James Cameron had with fellow filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici (aka, the Naked Archeologist) some years ago, “We need a project.” “Yeah, something sexy and big.” “Well, you know that DaVinci Code thing is big.” “DaVinci Code… DaVinci Code… hmmm…yeah, not as big as Titanic though.” “Certainly not as big…

I am the father to the three most wonderful girls in the world. Now, come June and with God’s mercy, I will be the father of a son. My excitement grows daily. I think that I didn’t know how much I wanted a son. I’ve been spoiled by three daughters – why would I want…

I’ll be interviewing John Edwards on Sunday for Beliefnet to kick off our interviews of presidential candidates. Email me or post comments with any questions you would like asked. I can’t promise I will be able to get to them all but I will try.

Last summer, Rick Warren surprised his congregation by announcing he was going to go preach the first-ever Christian event in reclusive and oppressive North Korea.
