Thanks for coming! I plan to post a lot of interesting articles and comment on a wide range of things-- from political to religious, from private to public, from formal writing on public policy to snippets on random observations.

About Me
- Name: Eric Schansberg
- Location: Jeffersonville, Indiana, United States
First and foremost, I am saved by God's grace as manifested most clearly through the atoning death of Jesus Christ-- and thus, adopted into His family. As a result, I increasingly seek to extend His grace to others in my daily life. On the home front, I am a husband and father to four young men (two by adoption and two the more conventional way). Professionally, I am an economist who loves to teach and is active in public policy circles. Vocationally, I am an active writer and the author of three books (one on the book of Joshua; two on public policy-- one secular, one Christian). Finally, I am the co-author of a 21-month discipleship curriculum, Thoroughly Equipped (and a lighter 36-week version), for developing competent lay-leaders in the Church. Related to that work, Kurt and I have two books, Enough Horses in the Barn and Roll Up Your Sleeves.

But aren't the Mullahs praying, too?
Wait, sorry; that's the wrong religion, isn't it?
I don't know about the wrong religion or the various mullahs. But if they're not praying for Neda's family, then it's certainly the wrong god.
Hello Mr. New Albanian,
Maybe you can tell us exactly what the Mullahs would be praying for?
Is it an end to government establishment of religion as well as guaranteed freedom (as proposed to death) for those who would choose their own faith?
C'mon, Be Honest.
Maybe it's just the Middle Eastern Mullahs who mandate death for all those desire this basic right - probably not in America.
Wait, sorry; Neda was murdered in Iran.
I do not know whether or not Neda was a Christian, but just as she died for the cause of liberty and justice, so Christians in many countries around the world who choose not to follow government mandated religion risk losing their homes and jobs, imprisonment, torture and their very lives.
I will be praying for them and their families.
Thanks for your post, Eric.
Fancy this, an athiest prodding the devout. Roger, we all know and understand that many have died in the name of religion. Be it Christianity or Islam, history shows the wrongs that have been committed. The truth is, though, that Islam continues to be a religion of hate and violence. Christianity, apart from crazy abortion doctor killers, is peaceful and loving.
If your comment would have been directed to the Mullahs about Christians, they would have called for our stoning.
You don't believe...and we get that. We will continue to pray for this brave lady and for you.
Roger, are you really an atheist? I fear that Mr. Short is likely slandering you. I'd be quite surprised to learn that a man of your intelligence and tolerance held that exceedingly faithful position.
