In 1891, a suffragist and social reformer named Alzire Chevaillier launched a moral crusade to destroy Fountaingrove, a utopian spiritualist community in northern California. Chevaillier accused the colony's leader, the poet and prophet Thomas Lake Harris, of perverting the teachings of the Bible to promote a “new sexology” that was “worse than Mormonism.” She insisted that Harris used magical powers of hypnosis to take sexual and financial advantage of his followers, turning them into a “spiritual harem” that practiced “free love” and other gross immoralities.

Religious experiences are usually private though occasionally they are intersubjective, involving multiple individuals at the same time. These group experiences carry extra evidential weight. But what of mass religious experiences, in which hundreds or even thousands of people apparently experience the same supernatural occurrence at the same time? Such events are rare historically, but of great interest in evidential terms, since they are more difficult to explain scientifically.

Christianity in England is in decline. Congregations are dwindling and ever fewer young people believe. Should we merely shrug our shoulders and accept this as inevitable and even healthy, or is something important being lost? Bijan Omrani argues that this decline is the most momentous change to occur in English history. He shows how a religion that has been part of our national story for over 1700 years was instrumental in the creation and development of the English nation, its codes of law and morality, and its structures of government and kingship.

Adoniram Judson was unique in his time. He and his wife were among the first missionaries to be sent out from the United States, and his entire ministry was a series of intense mountains and valleys. Adoniram showed a level of commitment and willingness to push through suffering and hard times far beyond what the vast majority of Christians would be willing to endure. His legacy as a pioneer on multiple levels is one that will last through this earth’s remaining time and into the heavenly library. Despite unimaginable hardships, Judson's work bore fruit that continues to impact lives today.

È trascorso più di un secolo da quando a Fatima, nel 1917, la Vergine Maria apparve a Lucia Dos Santos e ai suoi cuginetti Francisco e Jacinta Marto. L'Europa era sprofondata in un periodo buio, martoriata dalla Grande guerra. Mentre Dio sembrava più che mai distante, la Madonna si mostrò ai tre pastorelli per confidare loro un Segreto: compiendo il volere del Cielo, l'umanità poteva salvarsi. Una responsabilità così grande in mani tanto piccole: Lucia aveva appena dieci anni, eppure la sua vita era già segnata.

From Massachusetts to Mississippi and beyond, the Bible was the nation's most read and respected book.

When Americans argued over the issues that divided them - slavery, secession, patriotism, authority, white supremacy, and violence - the Bible was the book they most often invoked.
