By one of those quirks of fate, I have had personal correspondence with Professor Mirecki on biblical issues. He’s a believer as far as I know. He’s not a fundamentalist, if by fundamentalist is meant a believer in the literal meaning of selective portions of the creation accounts.

I bought one of his books as a gift for my parish priest a few years ago, a book called “Gospel of the Savior,” a translation of a late gospel. Since my priest was taking a sabbatical to further study Biblical languages, he was very much pleased with Mirecki's book that includes an interlinear Greek/English section, showcasing the non-canonical gospel.

At any rate, I’m sure the Professor Mirecki regrets his rude outburst, and I hope he continues his contribution to biblical scholarship in the future.

[...Mirecki is a believer...)

He believes in something, but I don't know that it is Christianity. Read this article from World Net Daily.

[I’m sure the Professor Mirecki regrets his rude outburst]


It seems to me that his statement is one of sincere contempt and not to be dismissed as just a "rude outburst".


[[he referred to religious conservatives as "fundies" and said a course depicting intelligent design as mythology would be a "nice slap in their big fat face."]]
