John’s introduces the program with an extended boralogue examining Pope Benedict XV’s statements during his academic address at Regensburg, Germany, including the relationship between faith and politics. Then he ties this to the alleged dichotomy between reason and faith.

John also tails out the show with persecution news from around the world.

It seems the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) has taken a lot of heat lately about its goals to merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico.  So the official website has published a rebuttal. Nevertheless an examination of the writings and speeches of SPP’s guiding light, Robert Pastor, weaves a different story than one they’re presenting on the official site.  Pastor wrote a book entitled, Toward a North American Union .  Pat Wood from The
August Review ( www.augustreview.com ) updates us.

Frequently anti-Israeli commentators forward the notion of founding of Israel as an act of terrorism, citing activities of the Irgun and the Stern Gang, attempting to legitimize Hamas and Hesbollah. Today history professor Dr. Steve Carol, Ph.D, ( www.middleeastradioforum.org ) will tell the story of the various military groups involved in founding the Israeli state.  This is a two-part series.

As the country’s awareness of its own history changed due to

Despite claims of tolerance and diversity, college campuses have been bastions of politically-correct speech, tolerating only its own belief system. But increasing numbers of students want the field opened up to honest discussion about things that matter.
Kelly Monroe Kullberg (www.veritas.org), is author of "Finding God Beyond Harvard," and she details the decade-old history of the Veritas movement.

Then we invite Chuck Missler (www.khouse.org) back for an explanation of how end-times eschatology in different Christian churches affects how those churches view Israel and world events and how some theology in the past has led to anti-Semitism.
