If there is a moral absolute which is recognized by most of the great religions, then does it really matter whether one is Confucian, Taoist, Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Jewish, or Christian? Don't all of the great religions point in the same direction? Does it really matter what path we take as long ...

The story of the Pitcairn Bible is a testimony both to the providence of God and to the value of the Bible in saving society from chaos. Ginny Hastings has written of it, "with no law to guide them, the mutineers of the Bounty turned an island paradise into a living hell of sexual abuse, drunkenness...
