Don't mess with Patrick Henry

I thought Wheaton College looked bad for firing a professor who became Catholic.  Now Patrick Henry College has fired a professor for writing an article stating that:

"A common misconception among American evangelicals, and one that cannot be supported by the Scriptures themselves, is that the Bible is the only source of truth," the article began. "We argue that this misconception amounts to a blasphemous denial of Christ's words in Matthew 5 that 'he sends rain on the just and the unjust.'"

The 900-word article argued that "a Christian must refuse to view special and general revelation as hostile to one another. Nor should he hesitate to learn from a pagan. There is much wisdom to be gained from Parmenides and Plato, as well Machiavelli and Marx."

The school claimed that the article "diminishes the import of Scripture."  Apparently when the school's namesake made his famous quote about liberty, he was referring only to the non-academic kind.
