Many observers of history have foreseen humankind’s destruction by its own hand. What can save us from a fate of our own making?

One of the most tragic aspects of human nature is our tendency to develop weapons for protection that end up sowing the seeds of our own destruction. Our capacity to lie is just such a weapon.

Misconceptions about the Bible—what it is and what it teaches—have led to wide-ranging distortions and doubts.

Because of a well-known list of seven deadly sins, many people have lived with the fear of terrible retribution after death. Where does this idea come from?
