Marina Abramovic often led them to push each other to extremes,
died on Monday at his home in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He was 76."

— Alex Marshall in The New York Times

Bible Stories for Skeptics

Review
With a bit of a twinkle in his eye, Richard Trudeau—a skeptic, retired Unitarian Universalist minister, Harvard Divinity School grad and (though he doesn't use the word) humanist—removes the supernaturalism from some of the common stories in the Judeo-Christian Bible for the edification of non-scholars. He links them to history as known to archeologists and serious historians and tries to salvage some things of value in the collection of diverse materials in the book…. 
— Edd Doerr, book reviewer for The Unitarian Universalist Humanist Association
