Summary
This document appears to be a page (p. 282) from a manuscript or memoir draft, dated April 2, 2012.

The text discusses the media-heavy nature of the Allen vs. Farrow custody battle and details a philosophical conversation between the author and Allen about defending Jesus in court and the implications for Christianity.
