Today's New Articles

Ethics Cloud Hangs Over DeLay Campaign
Bribery allegations give challenger hope to oust Washington's third most powerful man.


Christian History Corner: Romanticism Gone to Seed—Part II
Have the holiness and Pentecostal movements really been "hyper-vertical" and "anti-domestic"?


From Christianity Today Movies
  • Movie Review: Ladder 49
    In the first feature-length movie about firemen since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Joaquin Phoenix turns in a fine performance in a compelling story about men who regularly risk their lives for others.


  • Movie Review: Shark Tale
    This underwater adventure lacks, er, depth and drowns in its own watered-down story. (Sorry.) For everything Finding Nemo got right, this fishy yarn gets way wrong.


  • Movie Review: I Heart Huckabees
    What is the meaning of life? This quirky, existential piece of cinema is a nice piece of filmmaking, but ultimately falls short in delivering a satisfactory answer to the question.


  • Movie Review: Woman, Thou Art Loosed
    Bishop T.D. Jakes's film, based on his best-selling book of the same title, portrays the gut-wrenching difficulty of forgiveness for those who have been sexually abused.


  • Movie Review: Thérèse: The Story of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
    The film, exploring the life of one of Catholicism's most revered saints, fails to deliver on the why factor—and could very easily be subtitled, "Adventures in missing the point."
