  The Akkadian Empire is one of the oldest civilizations we know of. Dating back to a few thousand years B.C., it presents itself with some archaeological finds, as well as long-forgotten mysteries and unanswered questions that will probably remain that way. 
  However, despite of the many secrets this advanced, vast empire holds, it could definitely be worth our time to explore some of the things we do know. We can learn about their language, their government, and, as far as we have sources, about their economy, art, culture, and religion. If a study of that nature sounds like it’s a good match for your own curious nature, then I invite you to pay attention to and get this brief guide on the Akkadian Empire.

  What is Critical Race Theory? 
   
   
   
  It may be one of the most widely referenced issues of the day, but it's also one of the least understood. In its translation from the academic world to the general public, Critical Race Theory (CRT) has inaccurately become a catch-all term for anything related to race. But what does it actually mean, and how should Christians engage it? 
   
   
   
  Ed Uszynski—whose PhD in American culture studies navigated readings in Marxism, Critical Theory, and Critical Race Theory—carefully unpacks what critical race theorists seek to accomplish and what Christians can learn from them. Uszynski generously explores CRT's roots, context, and central tenets, revealing how its insights are used and distorted but also how they might benefit the church. With responsible answers to legitimate concerns, Uszynski goes beyond the surface to provide a reliable path of just discernment and cultural engagement.
