Death Row Jesus!
Fast on the heels of David Limbaugh's "Jesus on Trial" book with the, uh, familiar cover, legendary Razorite Lane tipped me off about a Texas ministry's new media project "Death Row Jesus." According the story in the Houston Chronicle, here is what the project is about:
The new commercial shows a shackled Jesus clad in an orange prison jumpsuit being led by guards through a prison block filled with all manner of sinners, including rapists, murderers, prostitutes, corporate sharks, even someone who could be a Westboro Baptist Church member (complete with a picket sign) sitting in cells wallowing in their actions. He is later beaten by guards and shown dying on a cross in atmospheric footage.
"Preachers, prostitutes, popes and pedophiles are all equally undeserving of Christ's love," said Miller in a press release this week, "but we all receive his forgiveness on the same terms."

I heartily agree. The point is much the same one I made in my book, and that is raised by the Trial of Jesus that we have now done in 11 states.
