Christians have long used the Book of Revelation to decode modern politics—except, curiously, when it becomes uncomfortably close to home. By setting aside conspiracy theories and reading Revelation as a prophetic critique of empire, we discover a repeating cycle of Babylon, beasts, and compromised faith. John’s ancient vision still speaks with unsettling clarity to America,…

Sixty years ago, A Charlie Brown Christmas broke every rule of television—child actors, slow pacing, raw jazz, no laugh track, and a bold decision to let Scripture take center stage.
