An obscure sacred song, penned in Greek on a tattered papyrus fragment, has long been considered the oldest surviving piece of Christian music. Now, it’s been adapted into a modern-day song in collaboration with worship artist Chris Tomlin. You can learn more about the process and find a link to "The First Hymn" here. |

A few other highlights from our site this week: |
|
This week on The Bulletin: John Eldredge joins Mike Cosper to discuss spiritual fatherhood, masculinity in far-right politics, and the ways union with God can transform men’s lives. |
|
"Good men show up. They love. They serve. ‘I will sacrifice my priorities for your benefit’—that’s at the core of masculinity. But until you heal a man’s soul—childhood trauma, sexual addiction, the whole nightmare—he just won’t show up in the ways that you wish he would." | Listen here. |

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." |
