US News and World Report has published a special edition release entitled “Mysteries of Faith”.

Inside the cover is a collection of articles from secular, collegiate experts that outline the history of the world’s major religions. A history plagued with bloodshed, corruption and power struggles. It also includes a pictorial of the Holy Land.

The monasticism of the Desert Fathers is revisted. The Marian Apparitions of Fatima are reverently portrayed while parts of the New Testament are exposed as forgeries.
