What to Do with a Thousand Unemployed Mosquitos

A goat grazed outside a small building in a remote part of southern Zambia. Behind the building’s door waited a lab full of mosquitos, and he would be their dinner. Inside the warm, humid lab, called an insectary, mosquito larvae squirmed in trays of water. Hundreds of grown mosquitos buzzed in mesh boxes. A series Read more.

Two election cycles ago, Ben Grizzle, a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs living in New York City with his family, saw a friend from high school share on Facebook that he had unfriended three people, two of them from his church, because of the rhetoric they were using. In the post, his friend expressed his Read more. The post A Compelling Witness appeared first on Christianity Today

Where Do Mission Hospitals Fit in the 21st Century?

Mission hospitals were a remarkably successful strategy in 20th-century mission work, especially in Africa. A century ago, the average mission organization would find the highest-elevation spot it could in a region (to reduce the risk of malaria) and build a hospital, a school, and a church on that site. Over time, those places became thriving Read more. The post Where Do Mission Hospitals Fit in the 21st Century? appeared first on Christianity Today

Why Christopher Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ Haunts Us Right Now

This piece was adapted from Russell Moore’s newsletter. Subscribe here. One of the biggest cultural events this summer isn’t a superhero sequel or a streaming series. It’s a 3,000-year-old Greek poem. That The Odyssey would be a box office powerhouse is not all that unexpected—after all, filmmaker Christopher Nolan gave us The Dark Knight Rises and Oppenheimer. But this is more than Read more. The post Why Christopher Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ Haunts Us Right Now appeared first on Christianity Today

Evangelical Views Toward Israel Slip to New Low

Evangelical Christians are not immune to growing negative sentiment toward Israel among Americans, a new Pew Research Center survey found. While white evangelicals are still more likely to back Israel’s government than other religious groups, their support has plunged since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. The percentage of white evangelicals with a favorable view Read more. The post Evangelical Views Toward Israel Slip to New Low appeared first on Christianity Today

This ‘Odyssey’ Blesses the Peacemakers

I sympathize with C. S. Lewis’s claim that movies preempt imagination, locking the fantastic elements of story into set frames. As a professor who teaches film adaptation as well as literature, however, I’d add that tackling multiple reimaginings of a classic can reveal more than sticking to the source material alone. I understand Homer’s Odyssey Read more. The post This ‘Odyssey’ Blesses the Peacemakers appeared first on Christianity Today

Iran Shutters Country’s Last Presbyterian Church

For 150 years, St. Peter Evangelical Church has maintained a visible and vibrant presence in the Iranian capital of Tehran.

How to Read the Bible Like the Early Church Did

Many modern hermeneutics lessons open with an example of how not to interpret. The infamous Augustinian allegory of Luke’s parable of the Good Samaritan is the classic offender. Augustine interprets Luke 10 in the following way: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho; Adam himself is meant; Jerusalem is the heavenly city of Read more.

The Pro-Life Movement’s Widening Division

The Texas Republican Party’s decision last month to reaffirm its platform plank calling for “legislation to abolish abortion” divided the pro-life movement. At issue was the platform’s call for “equal protection of the laws,” code for legislation to make women obtaining abortion, along with abortion providers, criminally liable for homicide. “In practice, this language would subject vulnerable Read more.

Warn Thy Trillionaires

When news broke that Elon Musk had become the world’s first trillionaire, the internet responded with both wonder and disgust. The wonder is pretty easy to explain. A trillion dollars is a lot of money, more money than a Christian college professor like me would see were I to work for a literal millennium. The Read more.
