 "Time Magazine" Meets Christian news March 8, 2002

"Christianity Today" is much like "Time Magazine." Founded in part by Billy Graham and Carl Henry, its basis is evangelical. However, as the Christian world is farther reaching than evangelicalism, so reaches "Christianity Today." CT remains steady and solid in its views, and helps educates the well-read Christian.
Mixing pop-news, hard-hitting issues, and intriguing features, CT manages to cover and assess the present state of Christianity. With a core of intelligent thinkers, and seasoned journalists, CT has been the leader in Christian journalism, and sets the pace for its peers.
Articles are often passed around Sunday School and CCD classes to educate the layman what is going on in the modern Christian life, helping connect the year 33 AD with 2002 AD.
Though coming from a protestant slant, Catholics and Orthodox Christians would be well-served to explore this magazine, as the movements of world Christianity are followed and reported. For example, they have done a great job reporting and analyzing the issues surrounding the Irish Catholic-Protestant conflict, separating the socio-political from the religious points of view.
A great buy. I fully recommend "Christianity Today."

 Beware!! Credit Risk! October 12, 2002

CT is quick to call the collection agency. They require written "opt-out" notification from the subscriber that the subscription is to be terminated. Beware, these guys are a credit risk. Too much trouble for what is otherwise a good magazine.
Best Christian magazine on the market, bar none March 2, 2002

For a general-purpose Christian magazine, its hard to go wrong with Christianity Today. It has a little bit of everything that touches the Christian world, whether news, theology, morality, or the devotional life. Editorials and articles are well thought-out and presented in a very intellectually engaging manner. In a couple of issues that followed the 09/11 tragedy, the magazine dealt with questions that were on the minds of many: Is Islam a religion of peace? and Is the God of Mohammad the same God as the God of Jesus Christ? The articles on those questions really nailed the issue for me. Also recently there have been ongoing discussions of Openness Theology which have been helpful. The alternating columns by Philip Yancey and Chuck Colson are worth the price of the magazine. One area that could stand some expansion is the reviews section, particularly book reviews. Besides that, its hard to find fault with this magazine.
prosperity Christianity February 3, 2003

I have read two sample issues of Christianity Today, and in my mind it does not display what I consider to be Christianity. It is directed toward high income Christians, rather than everyday working folk. They featured a woman named Ann Lamont in one issue, and her version of Christianity is not in my Bible. Neither is prosperity. God blesses, yes, but worldly prosperity is the exception rather than the rule. True prosperity is our hope and assurance of eternal life. I don't want to read about some rich guy whining because of a conversation he should have had with someone in Africa about how "poor" he is, and how rich white folk are so misunderstood ("Always in Parables" by Andy Crouch, February 2003). Jesus said it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter into heaven. A better magazine by far, one for serious Christians, is World Magazine. It is a weekly Christian news magazine, and they deal with real Christianity, not fluff.
American evangelical Christianity's premier publication February 17, 2004

Christianity Today began in the 1940s as an alternative to Christian Century, at a time when the "new evangelicals" (spearheaded by Billy Graham) were breaking away from fundamentalism and into the religious and academic mainstream. Fifty-something years later, it is outstanding as the voice of mainstream conservative evangelicalism in the United States.News is generally top quality, and articles embrace a wide variety of issues (cultural, social, theological, ecclesiological etc.) from a broad range of evangelical standpoints (ranging from the fairly conservative to the progressive, eg. Sanders, Pinnock etc.). Even as an ex-evangelical, I am still guaranteed always to find something of interest within its pages.
