For all the piousness associated with the Bible, there’s no denying that it is a pretty racy piece of work, what with all the murder, betrayal and run-amok passions coursing through the books. And you’ll find lots of hot buttons in the Gospel of John, which details the closing stretch of Jesus’ time on earth from baptism to resurrection. Mel Gibson pushed plenty of those buttons in his 2004 movie “The Passion of the Christ,” which generated much controversy and accusations of anti-Semitism. So you could say that Atlanta actor Brad Sherrill’s one-man version of…

In publicizing the documentary, Prescott made the following statement: “We have extremists in both our faiths. We’re just trying to find some common ground to promote peace.”
Ask Prescott about who those extremists are within his faith and he will readily point to McVeigh.

Malise Ruthven admires two books that ask how modern conflicts have come to be clothed in the language of medieval holy wars A crusader is shot by a Muslim warrior during the Crusades in c1250. Photograph: Hulton Archive/Getty Images The historian Marc Bloch, who died a martyr’s death when shot by the Nazis, observed that “once an emotional chord has been struck, the limit between past and present is no longer regulated by a mathematically measurable chronology”. Although we are approaching the millennium of the First Crusade launched by Pope Urban II in 1095, the spirit of this archetypal conflict between a militant Catholicism and its rival faiths in Iberia, Southern France, the Eastern…
