From international editor Angela Lu Fulton: I started listening to Christmas music early this year (pre-Thanksgiving!), as I felt it unfair that we get to listen to some of the most joyful, endearing, theologically rich songs only one month of the year. While I have some of the classics on rotation, I also love finding new adaptations of Christmas songs. Music correspondent Kelsey Kramer McGinnis has written Christmas music roundups for CT the past few years, so while you’re opening presents this morning, cooking a Christmas feast, or just relaxing with family and friends, check out the best Christmas music from 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022. You can find our Spotify playlists of the songs mentioned here.
Merry Christmas from all of us at CT! |
Because Christ Reigns, The Church Can Flourish |
|
Isaiah tells us of the coming Messiah, "Of the greatness of His government and peace there will be no end." At Christianity Today, we believe that because Christ reigns, the Church can flourish—even in a world that still aches for His peace. |
|
Through in-depth journalism, redemptive storytelling, and resources that disciple believers, CT helps the global Church live faithfully in this "already and not yet" Kingdom—seeing the world through the lens of Christ’s truth and hope. |
|
As one reader shared, "CT helps us learn to be faithful and see the world in a faithful way." |

As we enter the holiday season, we consider how the places to which we belong shape us—and how we can be the face of welcome in a broken world. In this issue, you’ll read about how a monastery on Patmos offers quiet in a world of noise and, from Ann Voskamp, how God’s will is a place to find home. Read about modern missions terminology in our roundtable feature and about an astrophysicist’s thoughts on the Incarnation. Be sure to linger over Andy Olsen’s reported feature "An American Deportation" as we consider Christian responses to immigration policies. May we practice hospitality wherever we find ourselves. |
