Today’s Briefing

Two decades since the New Calvinist resurgence, the populist-institutional divide has widened. Tim Keller left us hope for renewal

In a new survey, 72 percent of white evangelicals approve of President Trump’s job in office, far more than any other religious group. 

As the Trump administration eyes transgender prisoner transfers, an evangelical ministry in California is leading calls for a legislative compromise to protect women behind bars.

In historian John Wilsey’s conservative primer, religious freedom is the result of recognizing "America’s two spirits."

Behind the Story

Yesterday marked US president Donald Trump’s 100 days in office, and he has kept all of us here busy with news on trade wars, foreign aid, immigration, gender policy, anti-Christian bias, and questions of due process (with a side of constitutional crisis, perhaps?). 

It’s been a blur at some points, so we’re highlighting a few news moments to remember from these past three months: 

Still, we on the news team are noticing that though Trump is making big changes that are affecting the entire globe, readers want stories about other topics too. Some of our most-read pieces the past few months have been reporting on the surviving church in Japan, reporting on a new Christian medical school in Nashville, and testimonies of non-Christian fans of the TV show The Chosen.

Today in Christian History

April 30, 304: The last and most punishing anti-Christian edict during Roman Emperor Diocletian's reign is published. The ensuing carnage was so horrific that it was said even the coliseum lions got tired. The man behind the edict, Augustus Galerius, finally issued an edict of toleration on April 30, 311—just Days before dying of a disease known as "being eaten with worms" (see issue 27: Persecution in the Early Church).

Even amid scandals, cultural shifts, and declining institutional trust, we at Christianity Today recognize the beauty of Christ’s church. In this issue, you’ll read of the various biblical metaphors for the church, and of the faithfulness of Japanese pastors. You’ll hear how one British podcaster is rethinking apologetics, and Collin Hansen’s hope for evangelical institutions two years after Tim Keller’s death. You’ll be reminded of the power of the Resurrection, and how the church is both more fragile and much stronger than we think from editor in chief Russell Moore. This Lent and Easter season, may you take great courage in Jesus’ words in Matthew 16:18—"I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."
