Christianity Today marked 70 years of publishing this year, and Nicole Martin reflected on the magazine’s history and mission in an interview recorded at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC. The magazine was launched in 1956 by Billy Graham. Martin described its mission as unchanged across a history that has since grown into a multiplatform ministry.
According to Martin, that mission is clear, credible journalism rooted in Scripture. The aim is to serve the church and to shape culture, not only to report on it.
Martin spoke candidly about leading the publication through criticism. She also described a commitment to setting a wide table for what she called a broad evangelical mosaic, a choice to hold together a range of voices within evangelicalism (Proverbs 18:17).
Asked about the future, Martin described it simply as “vibrant.”
