Truth Magazine begins its fiftieth year! It is hard to believe that Truth Magazine is beginning its fiftieth year of publication. The first issue of Truth Magazine was published in October 1955. With Volume XX, we adjusted our volume year to coincide with the calendar year, so actually our fiftieth year began in October 2005. Later this year, we plan a special issue to celebrate our fifty years of publishing Truth Magazine.
Born during the early years of the battle against institutionalism, especially for the purpose of battling some of the modernism showing itself in the Chicago area at that time, Truth Magazine set itself for the defense of the gospel from its inception. It was never intended to be a paper designed to reach the non-Christian, although much material has been published in our pages which is useful to non-Christians. Rather, Truth Magazine was born to discuss openly the issues troubling God’s people in that day.
