Donald Burke, Dean of the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, recently wrote in the journal Science, "Since 2000, almost half a million Americans have died from drug overdoses."¹ This "modern plague…degrades health, saps productivity, spawns crime, and devastates families, all at enormous societal cost."¹

His high school teacher taught him that a cluster of Catholic clergy cobbled the Scriptures together long after the events they describe—events like the Lord Jesus rising from the dead and the apostles traveling the world to proclaim His resurrection. Was his teacher right?
