About Us

Our Mission
The CHRISTIAN CENTURY magazine believes that the Christian faith calls Christians to a profound engagement with the world--an engagement of both head and heart. We think Christians can and must articulate their faith in a way that is meaningful and intellectually compelling to those around them.

That's why the CENTURY examines issues of politics and culture as well as theology, and that's why it pays attention to the challenges of faith that arise in our everyday lives as parents, friends, spouses and citizens.

We also think that faith is nurtured in community--that's why we care about handing down the rich practices of the Christian tradition as lived out in congregations and denominations.

We hope you'll enjoy perusing our upgraded Web site, which contains selections from recent issues. And please consider subscribing to the CENTURY.
