| Gaza Ceasefire Deal Connects Hamas and Palestinian Authority |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Amid Israel's celebration at receiving back the last living hostages, few commentators have chosen to dwell on the dark exchange that made that possible. Namely, in return for Hamas freeing the last 20 hostages, Israel also freed nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including 250 convicted terrorists, most of whom were serving life sentences in Israeli prisons. Many of these prisoners, for whose release Hamas negotiated, were released not into Gaza but into Judea and Samaria - to Ramallah, the administrative center of the Palestinian Authority (PA). |

| Churchgoers Lack Consistent Biblical Worldview on Social Issues, but They Want to Learn More: Poll |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| A national survey of churchgoing Americans shows rising ignorance about how the Bible applies to contemporary social issues, even as churchgoers seek more teaching on these issues from their local churches.

However, it also appears that, when churches rise to the challenge, that teaching will be well received. |
