The whole bible is the working out of the relationship between God and man. God is not a dictator barking out orders and demanding silent obedience. Were it so, there would be no relationship at all.

But that doesn't mean we can't use new information to help us read the holy texts in new ways.

The pattern of a newspaperman's life is like the plot of 'Black Beauty.'

There are a billion people in China. It's not easy to be an individual in a crowd of more than a billion people. Think of it. More than a billion people. That means even if you're a one-in-a-million type of guy, there are still a thousand guys exactly like you.

Justice should be cheap but judges expensive.
