From copy editor Elise Brandon: When I fact-check articles, I sometimes find conflicting or disputed information. When was that guy really born? Who arrested this woman? Were there 15 or 25 protesters? What day did that trial conclude? |
|
That’s where the fun begins. I start with Google, searching keywords and trying to dissect the facts. I pay careful attention to the details I see online, noticing where a reporter might have been intentionally vague or cautious and parsing apart the sources for the information that’s out there. |
|
If I don’t make progress after a few minutes, sometimes I leave a note for the point editor—the staffer who communicates with the writers, shapes the bent of a piece, and confirms accuracy. Other times, I consult a CT reporter who knows more than I do. He or she can catch discrepancies, weigh which sources are most reliable, tweak wording, and tell me where to find more. |
|
Chasing down the facts often confirms our writers’ careful reporting, but you can never be too sure. |

When Jesus taught, he used parables. The kingdom of God is like yeast, a net, a pearl. Then and today, to grasp wisdom and spiritual insight, we need the concrete. We need stories. In this issue of Christianity Today, we focus on testimony—the stories we tell, hear, and proclaim about God’s redemptive work in the world. Testimony is a personal application of the Good News. You’ll read Marvin Olasky’s testimony from Communism to Christ, Jen Wilkin’s call to biblical literacy, and a profile on the friendship between theologian Miroslav Volf and poet Christian Wiman. In an essay on pickleball, David Zahl reminds us that play is also a testament to God’s grace. As you read, we hope you’ll apply the truths of the gospel in your own life, church, and neighborhood. May your life be a testimony to the reality of God’s kingdom. |
