Christianity Today, 2006, Volume 50, Numbers 1–12
Overview
Since 1956, Christianity Today has challenged the church with real-world content that is timely, compelling, insightful, balanced, and biblical. Christianity Today is a magazine that seeks to present Christ preeminent in all things, with a clear ministry emphasis via trustworthy, Bible based content. Written with journalistic excellence and professional integrity, the authors and editors of this work seek to avoid the status-quo and push themselves and the modern church to live in obedience in light of God’s revelation. Since its founding by Billy Graham, Carl Henry, and others, this publication has commented on culture and shaped debate for over fifty years. Christianity Today has worked to change those who change the world: all who are serious about wanting their lives to be used by God as a counterculture for the common good.
Top Highlights
“When Christians seek to be ‘colorblind’—a word that suggests that ethnic distinctions are ultimately irrelevant—they unknowingly imitate the tower-builders’ fear of diversity. In practice, colorblindness usually means persons from minority cultures allow their cultural distinctiveness to become invisible, while persons from the majority culture expect others to adapt to their culture. A colorblind church is unable to appreciate the amazing cultural diversity to which God brings salvation: ‘You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it,’ the elders sing to the Lamb. ‘For you were killed, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation’ (Rev. 5:9, nlt).” (Volume 50, Number 8, Page 34)
“Pentecostalism 100 years after the Azusa Street revival” (Volume 50, Number 4, Page 10)
“There are no calls in the New Testament either to withdraw into a private ghetto or to ‘take back’ the realms of cultural and political activity. Rather, we find exhortations, like Paul’s, to the inauspicious yet crucial task of loving and serving our neighbors with excellence.” (Volume 50, Number 1, Page 44)
“Sometimes, evangelical activists even proclaim America’s inevitable moral decline while calling for campaigns to arrest that decline.” (Volume 50, Number 9, Page 91)
“Manifesto protected the men against their ignoble impulses and helped rehabilitate the image of gospel preachers.” (Volume 50, Number 4, Page 28)
