CT’s Top Philippines Stories of 2023

The publication of a Taglish Bible, colonial ties to evangelicalism, and the hit ‘Lovestruck’ series. Plus: Tell us what we missed.

In 2023, CT worked to publish more stories on the Philippines and platform more Filipino writers. Here are seven articles on topics ranging from a new Bible translation to the growth of house churches to a reflection on Tim Keller’s influence.

In 2024, we want to do more. If you have suggestions for story ideas or new writers who should write for us, please fill out this form.
