Getting on Both Sides of an Issue

Last year, the far left wing Presbyterian Church in the United States of America publishing house, the Presbyterian Publishing Corp., published a piece of rubbish by theologian David Ray Griffin entitled "Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11." The book argues that the World Trade Center collapsed because the United States government had planted explosives.

This week the publisher repudiated the work, saying that it was "not up to [the publisher's] editorial standards" and was "spurious and based on questionable research." However, the publisher is not removing the book from print and is not taking any disciplinary action toward those responsible for the publication of a book that failed to meet "editorial standards."
