Christianity Today and our sister publications have given extensive coverage to quests for the historical Jesus. Christianity Today reports on the Jesus one scholar would prefer to know and the centrality of Jesus' resurrection. Books & Culture assembled six leading Jesus scholars to investigate the meaning of Jesus, and issue 59 of Christian History discussed what the gospels can tell us about Jesus.

CT has also looked at popular PBS program Religion & Ethics Newsweekly. Previous religion reports from the Online Newshour are archived at the PBS Web site.

ABC News religion reporter Peggy Wehmeyer, an evangelical and a colleague of Jennings, has spoken about the importance of showing the religious dimensions of news stories. A profile of Wehmeyer is available from USA Weekend.

Other recent 'Jesus programming' on American television has included: The Miracle Maker, a claymation film about Jesus' life; the Jesus miniseries; and the made-for-television drama Mary, Mother of Jesus. Last month at ChristianityToday.com, Roy Anker looked at how Jesus is playing on TV and in the movies.

Like Peter Jennings, Lee Stroebel was a journalist who was intrigued by Jesus. Read about what he found in his book, The Case for Christ.
