Though I've not commented, many have critiqued Lisa Miller's journalistic standards in her recent Newsweek cover story The Religious Case for Gay Marriage. Yesterday, Dr. Albert Mohler was a guest on National Public Radio's Talk of The Nation, along with Ms. Miller, discussing this issue. Mohler had previously written an initial response to Miller's article. Running time for the program is 30-minutes long.
