In an entry titled Newsweek Takes on the New Testament, Dr. Albert Mohler takes on Jon Meacham, who wrote the piece for Newsweek. As Mohler points out, one of the common bases for criticism of Mel Gibson’s upcoming movie is the use of the Bible as a history book. Few people are digging deeply enough to gather the facts.

The worst offender in this area is a writer by the name of Christopher Hitchens. Writing for Vanity Fair, he produced a piece called The Gospel According to Mel. The article had not been posted to Hitchens’s web site at the time of this entry.

Know in advance that he began with an agenda consistent with his past work. Here’s a link to an interview with Hitchens at secularhumanism.org.
