 This magazine AND Sojourners March 22, 2005

This is a decent magazine and it's good to support an Christian magazine. But if Sojourners ~sometimes~ errors to the left- Christianity Today ~often/ persistently~ errors to the the "right."
In the current climate, I subscribe to Sojourners. CT has been too passive in letting things veer to the right-wing.
Contributor Yancey is an inspiration and a true Christian voice; while Colson is deluded by the high places of power and is a stain on an otherwise reasonable approach of CT.

I subscribed to this magazine hoping to get a Christian perspective on current world events. While there have been some articles that fit this description, they seem to spend too much time discussing denominational breaks and differences. I'm not really interested in those at all, and it's because of those issues that I go to a non-denominational church. There have been some interesting and introspective articles, but there have been an equal number of articles that had no appeal to me whatsoever. I'm not planning on renewing my subscription.
 Conservative magazine for thinking Christians February 16, 2003

I know, "conservative," "thinking" and "Christian" aren't often found together in the same sentence -- especially not in the mainstream media. But that's why this publication is so valuable. It shows that there are indeed thoughtful ways to think about other religions, ethical issues, trends in religion, high-profile figures, etc., without forgetting core Christian principles.
Interesting but not as well researched as I'd like December 21, 2003

As a journalist, I catch too many content mistakes made by the writers for Christianity Today. Their articles are often not well researched. I would recommend "Sojourners" as a magazine with more interesting articles that push the contemporary Christian to think about the world and their place in it.
Best evangelical survey of Christian & world news & culture August 21, 2003

Christianity Today offers interviews of major thinkers, performers, and newsmakers, with special emphasis on how they relate to the evangelical church world. Their in-house writing is mainstream evangelical, and when it comes to controversy within the movement, the writers are "painfully middle of the road." Nevertheless, since those in the middle usually get shot at from both sides, the CT garners its share of criticism from fundamentalists, liberals, and those with stark views on such subjects as sex, drugs, music, national politics, and international relations (especially regarding the Middle East).CT is intelligent, broad, and a great starting place for anyone wishing to understand the worldview of one of the most rapidly growing segments of "Christianity Today."
