The Many Meanings of Marriage: Centuries-Old Wisdom
So that they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. —Matthew 19:6 Since biblical times, we’ve been searching for our other halves, wanting to ride into the sunset with our one true love, and marrying the love of our life. But marriage traditions through…
Principal Dancer Elsie Shi Communicates Truth Through Art
The first thing that captivated Elsie Shi about classical Chinese dance was the flips—the way dancers looked as if they were flying, the way she felt tumbling through the air.

Video: Woke Movement Functions Like a Religion, Says Victor Davis Hanson
Behind the waves of protests, critical theory narratives, and attacks on traditional culture is the woke movement. This movement functions as a religion for those who follow it.

‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’: The Postmodern Struggle for the Mythic
The legions of keyboard warriors and hardcore comic-book fanboys finally have their victory over the Hollywood horde of mass-entertainment executives. “The Synder cut” has been released. Justice prevails. The world can now stream “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” a superhero film unlike any other in its shameless length and sheer spectacle that packs, perhaps, the biggest…
