How Could an Oxford Professor of Mathematics Think Christianity is True?

"Against the Tide: Finding God in an Age of Science," a new documentary.

Written by Amy K. Hall | Thursday, November 12, 2020

In the film, Lennox doesn’t go too deeply into any one argument for the truth of Christianity. Instead, it’s more of a conversational overview of many basic arguments (the cosmological argument, fine tuning, the resurrection, etc.).   How could an Oxford professor of mathematics think Christianity is true? That’s the question addressed by a new... Continue Reading

How Abortion Lies Mimic the Movie “The Island”

It’s ironic that a Hollywood flick holds a more accurate view of human value than most abortion-choice advocates.

Written by Alan Shlemon | Sunday, June 21, 2020

I’ve had conversations with abortion-choice advocates for two decades, and they often deny the unborn are bona fide human beings. Instead, they refer to them as an “it,” a “fetus,” a “clump of cells,” an “unwanted pregnancy,” or—if they’re generous—a “potential human.” All their language, however, is the same. It’s dehumanizing. It’s also a lie. Maybe... Continue Reading

1917 (Review)

1917 is co-written and directed by Sam Mendes, and it’s based on his grandfather’s experiences at World War 1.

Written by Samuel Sey | Saturday, February 1, 2020

1917 isn’t a complex film. It’s a simple film about a day—or a couple of hours—into the lives of two young, insignificant British soldiers. But its simplicity is what makes the film so good. The film doesn’t try to impress its audience. It doesn’t use a hyper-stylized filter to make the setting bleaker, and it doesn’t... Continue Reading

‘The Rise of Jordan Peterson’—A Review

What makes “The Rise of Jordan Peterson” particularly notable is that it neither shies away from the political controversies surrounding Peterson, nor allows itself to be defined or limited by them.

Written by Carol Horton | Thursday, October 24, 2019

The Rise of Jordan Peterson constructs a kaleidoscopic narrative that enables the viewer to look at the same sequence of events in several different ways. Engaging with the film fully demands a willingness to listen to a wide and often conflicting range of perspectives. Those who insist on placing Peterson in an airtight box, and... Continue Reading

PURITAN: All of Life to the Glory of God

It was their firm commitment to the Word of God that distinguishes them from other groups throughout church history.

Written by Josh Buice | Friday, October 11, 2019

In the documentary, PURITAN: All of Life to the Glory of God, you will walk through the hallways of history to discover this group of people who sought to purify the Church of England and would eventually flee for religious freedom. You will learn names like John Bunyan, Thomas Goodwin, Richard Sibbes, John Owen, Richard... Continue Reading

A Subversive Netflix Documentary Titled “The Family”

This film mainstreams blatant anti-Christian propaganda.

Written by Denny Burk | Friday, August 16, 2019

What troubled me most about this film is how it mainstreams blatant anti-Christian propaganda. This film could not have been made fifteen years ago. It would have provoked massive blowback. But a lot has changed in the last fifteen years, and it is now okay to caricature Christians and publicly denounce them for their beliefs.... Continue Reading

American Mythology’s Endgame

The largest cultural event of 2019 is the release of “Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame.”

Written by Jason Edwards | Thursday, August 1, 2019

Endgame is the mythology of America’s young. Earlier generations looked to John Wayne, but today it is Marvel; and Endgame’s official message paraphrased is “be who you are, not who you are supposed to be.” That has ramifications, so don’t be the last to know.   The largest cultural event of 2019 is the release...

Killing a Legend

"The Highwaymen" takes aim at the wrongheaded heroizing of Bonnie and Clyde.

Written by Megan Basham | Friday, May 10, 2019

It probably shouldn’t be surprising that mainstream reviews of The Highwaymenhave been tepid, given how hard it pushes back against a film Hollywood has long hailed as one of its greatest works. And there’s no question it indicts the media for heroizing the wrong people. But that would be just another us vs. them movie,... Continue Reading

Best of Enemies Movie: Klan leader, Black Activist; Race, Religion, Reconciliation

What happens when you assign a Ku Klux Klan president and a Black civil rights activist to collaborate on school desegregation – in the racially charged 1971 U.S. South?

Written by Rusty Wright | Tuesday, April 2, 2019

What fueled their change?  Atwater wrote in the Durham Herald-Sun, “In church the preacher says that if you want to be like Jesus you must be ‘born again.’ That really is the only way I can describe it. Something came into our lives…. The blinders came off and we…saw how much we had in common.... Continue Reading

Abby Johnson and the Movie ‘Unplanned’

Abby Johnson: “Unplanned is a movie I never planned on making”

Written by Jeff Thompson | Monday, April 1, 2019

“You know, I was a little disgruntled. I had been told that we were required to double our abortion quota in our clinic. They told us we must sell more abortions, and start doing them through the 6th month of pregnancy. I thought that was absurd, that it was much too late in the pregnancy.... Continue Reading
