Pliny was governor of Bithynia, in the north of Asia Minor (modern Turkey) in the early Second Century. He wrote a letter to Roman Emperor Trajan c.112 AD and asked for advice on dealing with the early Christians. His letter provides valuable historical insight into the lives, faith and practice…

I often hear skeptics claim that all religions are true (i.e., that all paths lead to God). If all religions are true then Christianity must be true when it says that other religions are false. So either Christianity is true in its assertion that other religions are false, or it…

I’ve always marveled at how Christ precisely fulfills the Old Testament Jewish feast days. Consider . . . 1) Passover (Leviticus 23:5) – Pointed to the Messiah as our Passover lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7) whose blood would be shed for our sins. Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation…

Lactantius, writing early in the 4th century after Constantine had assumed power and the persecutions were over, noted in Book 2 of his Divine Institutes that the church was empowered over the demonic. In chapter XVI of Book 2, Lactantius writes concerning demonic entities, “They (the demonic) do indeed injure,…

The false prediction of the rapture occurring on September 23, 2025 was tragically popularized by more-than-a-few evangelical Christians who acted foolishly (watch the sad video at the bottom). A South African pastor’s apocalyptic prophecy sparked widespread panic and ridicule across social media, as many Christians braced for the Rapture to…

This scene where an unbelieving atheist psychiatrist encounters the demonic, is from the 2023 movie Nefarious – a powerful story about evil from the Christian worldview.

Given the state of public education, I suspect many young people have no idea who the Marquis de Sade is. (The word “sadism” derives from his name.) He was the first person in modern times to write openly about abortion and affirm it. As Davidson notes in Pagan America, Sade’s…
