The bones of Jesus of critical concern to Christians
By Mark Minnick
"After the Discovery Channel's airing of "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" (March 4) and its provocative suggestion that an ossuary once holding Jesus' bones may have been discovered, we can appreciate any effort to reassure us that Jesus actually rose from the dead. It's vital, however, that our reassurances confine themselves strictly to the Bible's explicit statements about the nature of Jesus' resurrected body, including its bones."

BJU condo project put on hold
"In a setback to the city of Greenville's plans to revitalize Pleasantburg Drive, Bob Jones University and a Texas developer have put a proposed $40 million condominium-and-retail development on hold."
"The condominiums were priced between $260,000 and $560,000, depending on size."
"'I think obviously the location was a little premature, and the price points were a little higher than the market was willing to accept in that location,' said Halter, whose company was not involved in marketing Renaissance Place."
