1. Arab Christians -- Christians Arabs
   The largest number of Arab Christians are in Egypt, Israel (as well as the Palestinian places), Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. In Arab populations of these places (the Americas, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and America), a big number of these Arabs are Christians. In Brazil, there are more than 12 million Arabs, and most of these people are Christian.
2. Christian Music -- Contemporary Christian Music
   The name Contemporary Christian Music was coined to distinguish this style of music from the more traditional forms of religious music. The word contemporary has proven to be an appropiate description of this music over the last twenty years, as the styles have kept up with its secular counterpart. The ever evolving state of C.C.M. includes such diverse and contemporary styles as rock, jazz, blues, dance, metal, rap, alternative, new age, grunge, punk, thrash, death, gothic and industrial. Yet regardless of the form, the essences of all Contemporary Christian Music is the same-to share God's love to the current generation in a way that can be both understood and enjoyed.
3. Madonna (Entertainer) -- Material Girl
   Unfortunately, Madonna's relationship with volatile young actor Sean Penn led her to accept a role opposite him, both in real life as well as onscreen in Shanghai Surprise (1986). The retro-styled, George Harrison-produced debacle endured a brief and mercilessly lambasted life at the box office; Madonna's marriage to Penn didn't last much longer. Next up for the indefatigable entertainer was Who's That Girl? (1987), a stillborn, flimsy imitation of the Melanie Griffith/Jeff Daniels vehicle Something Wild, released just one year prior. Notable only for its hit title track, the ostensible homage to Howard Hawks starred a pained Griffin Dunne opposite a bubbly, impetuous Madonna, apparently performing in the style of her semi-controversial "Open Your Heart" video. Needless to say, their chemistry did little to ignite box-office fireworks.
4. Christian -- United States
   Delegates to the group Christians United For Israel (CUFI) will attend an international banquet July 18 titled "A Night to Honor Israel," featuring leaders from the Christian and Jewish communities. The following day they will meet with members of the House and Senate. It is believed to be the first time that Christian leaders from across the nation have come to Capitol Hill to meet directly with members of Congress to discuss support for Israel. Continue
5. Christian Bale -- Family
   Christian Charles Philip Bale was born on January 30, 1974, in Pembrokeshire, Wales, into a family with a long history in entertainment. His grandfather was a stand-up comic and children's entertainer; his great-uncle, Rex, was an actor; and his mother, Jenny, was a former circus performer. Two of Bale's three older sisters even joined the business eventually: Erin is a musician and Louise is a director and actress. Only Sharon managed to escape the lure of Hollywood; she is a computer analyst.
6. Christian Bale -- Films
   The film, starring Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale, debuted this past July and was ranked among the top five feature films during the month of its release. The video game release of Reign of Fire marks the first product to ship as a result of the multi-year partnership between Spyglass Entertainment and BAM! Entertainment. Reign of Fire ... marks the first game from BAM! to cross all platforms with its availability on PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and Game Boy Advance.
7. Christian Bale -- American Psycho
   Intense and versatile, Christian Bale is probably best known for playing caped superhero Batman in the big-budget 2005 film Batman Begins. Bale's first starring role was as the young English boy Jim in the 1987 Steven Spielberg movie Empire of the Sun (based on the novel by J.G. Ballard). Over the next two decades he took roles in a tremendous variety of films: the literary flicks Little Women (1994, with Winona Ryder) and The Portrait of A Lady (1996, based on the novel by Henry James); the glam-rock tribute Velvet Goldmine (1998); Shakespearean classic A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999, opposite Calista Flockhart); the blaxploitation remake Shaft (2000, opposite Samuel L. Jackson); and even as Jesus Christ in the 1999 made-for-TV movie Mary, Mother of Jesus (1998). His 2000 turn as nutso yuppie Patrick Bateman in American Psycho took his fame to a new level, and in 2004 he created a stir when he lost over 60 pounds to play a scrawny and addled insomniac in The Machinist. The next year he gained back the weight, and more, to play crime-fighting millionaire Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins.
8. Christian Art -- Miscellaneous
   The formulas for representing figures in the earliest Christian art were clearly derived from the conventions of Classical art. Compare for example the representation of Jonah sleeping under the gourd to a reclining figure from a mythological sarcophagus:
9. Batman Begins -- Christian Bale
   Essentially why "Batman Begins" is such a success is because the story finally focuses on the hero for once, instead of the villains. It’s nice to finally have a succinct background to Bruce Wayne/Batman that fans can refer to. While future films may eventually hand the responsibility over to the featured baddies, at the end of the day, it’s Batman that everyone has gone to the theater to see, and Christian Bale does a bang-up job with one of the most demanding gigs in the industry. This summer is sure to offer plenty of entertaining films to check out, and you may miss out on some of the big ones in the process, but "Batman Begins" is not to be left behind.
10. Christian Bale -- Movies
    Christian Bale was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, but later moved to England. He caught the acting bug early in life, and by the age of ten was already appearing in a West End production of The Nerd. Television work soon followed, but it was in 1987's Empire of the Sun that he first made his mark worldwide. Although Empire did not live up to expectations, critics were impressed by the very young Bale's performance in Steven Spielberg's story of a young British lad who is separated from his parents in Japan-occupied China during World War II.
