The Wall Street Journal of the neo-evangelical movement
In some circles, to arrive at the office without having read the Wall Street Journal is like turning up in your boxer shorts and a sneaker. In other circles, the same can be said of 'CT', as it is known to regular readers, which include virtually everyone of influence in the evangelical movement in America. <
> <
>As a CT reader for more than thirty years, I have lived with this monthly's evolution from the thought journal that the late theologian Carl Henry wished it to be, empowered to drag American evangelicalism - kicking and screaming if need be - out of the cultural backwaters. Gradually, and by means of the separation of Henry from the project, it became a more general-access piece of the kind that fellow founder Billy Graham is said to have desired. <
> <
>General access is no kidding. Circulation has mushroomed over the decades and given rise to something of a Christianity Today Empire around evangelicalism's Mecca, Wheaton, Illinois. <
> <
>With CT, you get news, analysis, some extremely well-written columns, and a dose of measured opinion, all of which purports to represent evangelicalism's 'middle', even if this is a constantly moving and morphing target. <
> <
>More belligerent alternatives (think WORLD magazine) have sprung up to lead the culture wars, Southern Baptists have been largely coopted into the evangelical movement, and frequent contributions from evangelicalism's Christian college faculties have made CT a confident product of the evangelical establishment. Now firmly distinguished from fundamentalism - a distinction that, astonishingly, is still routinely missed by cultural elites from outside the movement - CT allows itself to cringe at antics on both the left and the right of American Christianity. The magazine has also developed a fine instinct for recognizing the leading edge of Christian activity before it becomes a recognizable trend. <
> <
>Hugely influential, occasionally claustrophobic, rarely maddening, always worthwhile. CT is the WSJ of the neo-evangelical movement.

I get giddy with excitement when it arrives every month...
As a self-diagnosed Christianity Today junkie, I cannot speak highly enough about Christianity Today as a thoughtful and comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the Christian faith. CT was the brainchild of Billy Graham fifty years ago, and it maintains his strain of Christian perspective, namely evangelicalism. Graham was never interested as a preacher in answering every bit of theological and doctrinal minutiae, nor does Christianity Today aim to do so. Instead, this magazine truly covers the full spectrum of issues that impact the lives of Christians, from news stories of current events and biographies of leaders within the church to analyses of important social and spiritual matters and controversial battles (past and present). CT offers a genuinely global perspective of Christianity, telling missionary stories from around the world in each issue. There are stories of successful and thriving churches of every stripe and descriptions of the victories and successes that occur within all sorts of denominations and ecclesiastical organizations. And they periodically include debates or discussions from opposing sides of important theological ideas, offering folks from both sides a forum to state their case. <

>One of the things that I appreciate most about Christianity Today is their passion to do journalism the right way as Christians. They publish articles by writers with whom many of their readers will not necessarily agree, and they chronicle the lives of many folks who may be outside the church or at least affiliated with a fringe movement. They do all of this while maintaining an unabashedly clear evangelical center, which is most clearly communicated through the editorials in each issue. I love the heart of this magazine and its leadership. I love their approach to their charge as evangelical Christian journalists. I truly read each issue, cover to cover, including all of the advertisements and even the classified ads! I feel like I remain a well-educated and informed Christian when I immerse myself in this amazing resource. I find myself copying or forwarding links to at least one or two articles from each issue to friends and family whose lives I know will be touched as mine always is when I invest in reading from the pages of Christianity Today. I would recommend it to anyone. <

An excellent magazine to read
So often when looking through magazines I haven't found quite what I was looking for in the Christian literature. I like the approach Christianity Today takes. It has articles that are broad, and not focused on a specific demonination. I believe the magazine has a slight evangelical bent to it. I do like the variety of articles, and coverage of current events. I would recommend this magazine for those who want to become a little more informed of Christianity in the modern world.
