On Religion: Greta Gerwig’s rock-opera take on a C.S. Lewis classic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During a fistfight, a young David Bowie suffered an injury to his left eye, leaving its pupil permanently wide open, with one blue eye looking radically different than the other. Bowie didn’t have heterochromia — different-colored irises. But his mysterious gaze was a key trait of Ziggy Stardust, his genderbending, rainbow-hued stage persona mixing glitter, bright lipstick, platform shoes and various female fashion trends. This early 1970s bolt of glam-rock lightning was part of the cultural sto
ON RELIGION: Southern Baptists seeing more adults seeking baptism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the Southern Baptist Conventionâs boom years, from the 1960s to 2010, the experts charting baptism statistics divided âchildrenâ into three groups â starting with those under age 6.

Recalling that family salute to the eternal ties that bind led his daughter Dolly Parton to ask that Albert E. Brumley’s hym
ON RELIGION: Homer, Nolan and the seven deadly sins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After watching Christopher Nolanâs take on âThe Odyssey,â Father Dwight Longenecker remembered a comment Steven Spielberg made in a movie commentary while discussing how viewers react to symbolism in cinema. The legendary director, a progressive Jew, was responding to comments that prominent crosses in the âSaving Private Ryanâ cemetery scenes suggested that the hero was a Christ figure who suffered to save a lost soul. Spielberg replied: âIâm always fascinated to learn about the t
