Patrick Henry College, Purcellville, VA is the first college (non-denominational) for Christian home-schooled students. "Patrick Henry College believes that God is the source of all truth, be it spiritual, moral, philosophical, or scientific. For this reason, we seek to educate students in God's truth throughout the entire curriculum." Click here to listen to the recent NPR Fresh Air (Terry Gross) interview with president and co-founder, Michael Farris. The college has understandably set very high standards for students, standards which, truthfully speaking, will be a challenge to meet given their desire for so-called "doctrinally neutrality." As I expected, see Shakeup at Patrick Henry College. |

Smith's views are from a "secular" perspective, BUT "reflect my understanding that the philosophy of human exceptionalism is the bedrock of universal human rights. Or, to put it another way: human life matters." Thoughtful commentary and very interesting polemics! |

"controversial topics as genetic engineering, euthanasia, computer

"But science and technology are only half the picture." They put "science topics in perspective by looking at related political, ethical and philosophical issues--so you can get a well-rounded understanding of the hot issues." |

 Dennis Prager |
Dennis Prager, nationally-syndicated radio Jewish talk-show host, is likely the most articulate, popularized voice for Judeo ethics. His commitment to, "Clarity, not agreement" often serves to focus this razor-sharp arguments. In addition to his show, he writes daily commentary. Ethically speaking, he understands the basic commonalities between Judaism and Christendom and the parallel between anti-Semitism and the anti-Christian bigotry spawned by liberals and the political left. He is in a small minority of Jewish theists who consider evangelical Christians if not friends, then allies. |
