Cover Feature
The Story of Jesus Christ: Where Do You Fit?
The making, content and release of the popular new movie about the final 12 hours of Jesus’ life on earth, The Passion of the Christ, has been surrounded by a great amount of controversy. Regrettably, this takes away from a central question we all need to ask ourselves—which is, where do we personally fit in the story?

Jesus Christ: Do We Have the Real Story?
For centuries alternative ideas have circulated as to whether Jesus was who the Gospels say He was. The Da Vinci Code, a popular best seller, dramatizes one of these stories. What is the truth? Can we know for sure?

Will Democracy Work in the Middle East?
President Bush has declared America’s commitment to democracy in the Middle East. But democracy there and in other regions hasn’t found much success. Few understand the fundamental reasons for this failure.

The Horsemen of Revelation: The Red Horse of War
Some 180 million men, women and children were slaughtered in 20th-century wars, and more have followed in the new millennium. What do history and the Bible tell us about the second horseman of Revelation?

Good Friday–Easter Sunday: It Didn’t Happen That Way!
Most people assume that Jesus was crucified on a Friday afternoon and was resurrected on Sunday morning. But does this agree with the biblical record? And does it square with what Christ Himself said?

The Chronology of Christ's Crucifixion and Resurrection

What Did Jesus Look Like?
Can we discover what Christ looked like 2,000 years later? Forensic scientists made the news with their scientific analysis of how Jesus might have appeared. Their conclusions, and what the Bible says, might be surprising.

A Right Example Heard Around the World
Not long before He was crucified, Jesus Christ surprised His disciples—and possibly many of us as well—by praising a seemingly wasteful act. Why did He put such emphasis on it? And what should we learn from it?

What Religious Days Did Jesus Observe?
Every year millions celebrate major religious holidays that are found nowhere in the Bible. If we are to truly follow Jesus Christ and live as He lived, shouldn’t we consider which religious days He observed?
