As a post-war administrator of defeated Germany, he sounded alarm bells about the dangers of Soviet encroachment into Europe. Politically, he was a lightning rod—an outspoken conservative who continually embarrassed his superiors with his uncensored, undiplomatic, and unrestrained comments to the press. He was General George S. Patton Jr., "Old Blood and Guts."

The Confederate soldier was revered by Northerners and Southerners alike long after the war ended for what Philip A. Bruce calls “the high, the gallant, and the romantic aspects” of his character.

For more than a year, Dan Brown's #1 New York Times bestseller, The Da Vinci Code, has been entertaining readers with its dark tale of a conspiracy to suppress the supposed "truth" about Jesus and early Christianity -- a "truth" which the novel, on its very first page, insists is historical fact, not fiction. Among the novel's central claims: that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had children by her.

Time was, people in Western society lived in a culture where the Bible was assumed to possess a certain authority. In today's secular culture, that's no longer true. From TV documentaries to Hollywood blockbusters, from newsmagazines to bestselling books, frontal attacks on the reliability of the New Testament are as common today as they were unthinkable only a few decades ago. As a result, many Christians find themselves not merely on the defensive but overwhelmed -- scarcely able to keep track of the attacks, much less to answer them. Now, the remedy: in Conspiracies and the Cross, historian and Scripture scholar Dr. Timothy Paul Jones examines in depth the ten most popular "conspiracy theories" calling the New Testament into question -- and shows how, when subjected to actual historical evidences, each of them crumbles beneath the weight of its own overblown claims.

For more than a century the fate of the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley remained one of the great unsolved mysteries of the Civil War. The brainchild of wealthy New Orleans planter and lawyer Horace Lawson Hunley, the Hunley inspired tremendous hopes of breaking the Union's naval blockade of Charleston, only to drown two crews on disastrous test runs. But on the night of February 17, 1864, the Hunley finally made good on its promise. Under the command of the heroic Lieutenant George E. Dixon, the sub rammed a spar torpedo into the Union sloop Housatonic and sank the ship within minutes, accomplishing a feat of stealth technology that would not be repeated for half a century. read more

We are still caught in the lie that Darwinism is the only respectable scientific position -- and much of this pseudoscientific dogmatism rests on myths surrounding the enigmatic figure of Charles Darwin himself. Darwin would change the world with his theory -- but the popular perception of him as a disinterested scientist who arrived at this theory after painstaking and meticulous examination of the natural world is dead wrong. As Benjamin Wiker proves in The Darwin Myth: The Life and Lies of Charles Darwin, Darwin did not originate the theory of evolution. Darwin's singular achievement was to dress it up with enough scientific trappings to make it plausible -- a goal which he pursued out of a fanatical desire to strike a blow at Christianity and eradicate the idea that human beings were created in the image of God. Wiker shows that Darwinism, despite the shrill denials of many of its supporters, does indeed lead to atheism -- because Darwin designed it to do so.

Books like John Cornwell's Hitler's Pope and Garry Wills's Papal Sin (and others) have become New York Times bestsellers by arguing that Pope Pius XII was complicit in the Holocaust by failing to do enough to save the Jews from Nazi extermination. But in The Myth of Hitler's Pope, Othodox Jewish Rabbi David Dalin explodes this newly resurrected, widely accepted, yet utterly bankrupt smearing of a pope who was, in fact, to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, "a righteous gentile."

Exclusive hardcover edition -- not available in stores!

One of the first things Stalin, Hitler, Mao and other totalitarians did was rewrite the histories of their nations, remaking the past to foster their control of the present. The American Left has done the same thing in our country: most American history books - both for students and adults -- are riddled with PC nonsense that makes the Founding Fathers over into racist slaveholders, the settlers of the West into genocidal land-stealers, and the welfare state into the harbinger of the ultimate triumph of liberalism.

Now, in The Religions Next Door: What We Need to Know about Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam -- and What Reporters Are Missing, Marvin Olasky tells the truth about about non-Christian religions -- and the danger of believing that all religions hold different variations of the same tenets.

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, many attempts at explanation have been made -- but few if any have matched the analytical depth and original displayed by English philosopher and cultural commentator Roger Scruton.

Attacks on the historical reliability of the Gospels, especially their portrayal of Jesus Christ, are more common than ever in our increasingly secular society. But are these attacks based on sound scholarship -- or mere prejudice and wishful thinking? Is there legitimate reason to doubt the accuracy of the Gospels? In Can We Trust the Gospels?, Mark D. Roberts examines and refutes some of the most common criticisms of the Gospels -- and explains why they are indeed reliable accounts of actual events, deserving our trust two millennia after they were written.
