Scientists in the U.S. and Switzerland have announced an astounding revelation – that all modern humans descended from a common father and mother who appeared 100,000 to 200,000 years ago after a cataclysmic event that almost wiped out the human race. Is this scientific breakthrough proof of the biblical creation story and Noah’s Ark? According…

China’s crackdown on religious freedom continued last weekend with a raid in southwestern China. Nearly 100 Christians were snatched off the streets or dragged from their homes in a series of coordinated raids. Members of the Early Rain Covenant Church were particularly targeted in the raids.

These days, any sort of openly Christian decoration is sure to become controversial. Atheist activist groups have gone after a wide variety of displays and demanded the removal of everything from the Christmas lights on an Idaho family’s private dwelling to Maryland’s Peace Cross, a memorial dedicated to the veterans of World War I.

That, however, is exactly what Stephen Colbert and Reverend James Martin attempted to do on the Jesuit-run show “Faith in Focus.” On a recent episode, Colbert proved that, despite being…

Depictions of Jesus have been at the center of Christian art for centuries. That said, many of the most famous paintings and statues are relatively recent creations. These dominate popular beliefs about Jesus’ appearance both because they are the most common and because little early Christian art has survived until the modern day. As such,…

An atheist group is trying to remove a cross-shaped World War I monument in Maryland ahead of a SCOTUS ruling. The public memorial honors 49 men from Prince George’s County who died serving our country and protecting our freedoms. So far, the attempt has received backlash from service members who view the attempt as an…
