"There can be no gainsaying of the fact that modern life is characterized by endless tensions. On all levels of life, men are experiencing disruption and conflict, self‐destruction and meaninglessness. Fear and anxiety have risen to the throne of modern life, and very few persons escape the influence of their powerful domination. It is probably true to say that we live today in one of the most, if not the most, frustrated generations of all human history."
These words were delivered by Dr. King in September 1956 at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. Though the details might have changed in the past 70 years, the message remains strikingly relevant — perhaps even more so — today. |

January 14 — Jost Zetzsche, head of United Bible Societies' Translation Insights and Perspectives tool and occasional Bible Gateway contributor, spoke with Ruth Anna Spooner, the lead translator on the American Sign Language Chronological Bible Translation, about the unique insights gained from sign language Bible translations (such as how names are rendered) — even for those unfamiliar with sign languages. (Christianity Today) |
| January 15 — The Megiddo Mosaic is now on display at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. until July 6. Originally discovered in the floor of an Israeli prison in 2004, the 580-square-foot mosaic was excavated and conserved by the Israeli Antiquities Authority. It was funded by a Roman centurion around 230 AD and includes inscriptions referencing the divinity of Jesus and the important role of women in the early church. (CT & Museum of the Bible) |
| January 15 — Open Doors released their 2025 World Watch List tracking persecution of Christians, with 380 million affected globally. Key regions include sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, especially North Korea. The report notes significant displacement and increased violence in 29 of the top 50 countries, largely due to authoritarian regimes and Islamic extremism. A few places, like Indonesia and Colombia, showed improvement. (RNS & CT) |

From the earliest centuries of the Church, three different views of the fate of the lost in hell have been held among mainstream Church fathers: annihilationism, eternal conscious torment, and restorationism.
Although the second view became the dominant one in Christianity, all three views of hell have a long history of orthodox Christian defenders, and many Bible verses to support their arguments. Here are the Biblical and theological arguments for each possibility. |
