Presbyterian Publisher Seeks Distance From 9/11 Conspiracy Book

Kenneth Godshall, chair of the board, explained the decision in a November 11 press release, in which he said the theological reflections of author David Ray Griffin are "helpful and timely," but that the "conspiracy theory is spurious and based on questionable research."

Griffin is a professor emeritus of theology at Claremont School of Theology and a prominent process theologian who has published dozens of books with WJK since 1975. He has published three other books about the terrorist attacks with Olive Branch Press, and a fourth, tentatively titled Debunking 9/11 Debunking, is due to be released in 2007.

"We believe that the research he produced is primarily taken from other Internet conspiracy theorists, and the author and our own editors did not take the time to consult other information that debunks 9/11 conspiracy theories," Godshall told CT.

1. "research was primarily taken from other Internet conspiracy theorists"?
Well, where else was he supposed to find it?
In the field?
