Overview

Tabletalk magazine was formed in 1977 to provide a substantive study tool for believers. Though its format has changed over the years, Tabletalk continues to challenge and encourage readers to dig deeper into the Word of God in order that their lives may be transformed through the renewing of their minds (Rom. 12:1–2). Daily Bible studies are the method for taking readers through the Bible, while theological articles by Dr. Sproul and other noted scholars address a particular theme each month.

Over the years, Tabletalk has been recognized for its excellence through several awards. Today, people all over the world read Tabletalk on a daily basis. The magazine is regularly found in seminary libraries and churches throughout the country.

Each month, more than 200,000 readers turn to Tabletalk for:

  • Great Authors, Thought-Provoking Topics—Each issue contains challenging, stimulating articles on a wide variety of issues related to theology and Christian living, written by eminently trustworthy authors—names like Sinclair Ferguson, John MacArthur, and R.C. Sproul.
  • A Bible Study For Each DayTabletalk’s daily Bible studies offer structure for your devotional life. Bringing the best in biblical scholarship together with down-to-earth writing, Tabletalk helps you understand the Bible and apply it to daily living.
  • True to Historic Christian FaithTabletalk avoids trends, shallow doctrine, and popular movements to present biblical truth simply and clearly, in keeping with historical Christian faith and orthodoxy.
  • Friendly, Approachable, and Convenient—Readers find Tabletalk approachable and inviting, with many saying it’s like having coffee each morning with their favorite teachers.
  • A Valuable Guide—Beyond the daily Bible studies, Tabletalk includes carefully selected daily readings to take you through the Bible in a year.

With the Logos Bible Software edition all Scripture passages in Tabletalk are tagged and appear on mouse-over. What’s more, Scripture references are linked to the wealth of language resources in your digital library. This makes all 264 issues more powerful and easier to access than ever before for scholarly work or personal Bible study. With the advanced search features of Logos Bible Software, you can perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “grace,” or “covenant.”

Key Features

  • Articles by a variety of Christian scholars and leaders that provide detailed and thought-provoking coverage of important topics.
  • Daily, in-depth studies guiding readers through one or more books of the Bible each year through rich yet easy-to-understand exposition, and practical applications.
  • An easy and effective program for reading through the entire Bible in a year.
  • Trusted resources for further study.

Praise for the Print Edition

Tabletalk has been a key ingredient in the diet of Christians conscious of their spiritual vitality.

—Michael S. Horton

Month by month, Tabletalk represents an oasis in a desert of false spirituality, mindless Christianity, and vapid conviction. Tabletalk represents theological rigor, biblical Christianity, and authentic Christian devotion. It is an antidote to the world of superficial Christianity. Read it and grow.

—R. Albert Mohler, Jr.

Tabletalk has been a wonderful resource in my own daily walk with the Lord.

—Ravi Zacharias
