One of the more widely known and reputable Christian apologetics publications is stopping its print publication after almost 45 years and going digital-only. The Christian Research Journal, released by the Christian Research Institute and frequently promoted by Hank Hanegraaff on his Bible Answer Man broadcast, will stop print editions after the next concern, stated handling editor Melanie Cogdill. Hanegraaff is president of the Christian Research Institute. The Journal will continue as a complimentary online publication. “Although the expenses of publication have actually continued to increase in time, we have actually done our finest to fight the financial patterns and have actually delayed stopping the print edition for numerous, several years,” Cogdill composed in a letter to customers. “And while this will be our last print edition, the bright side, as kept in mind, is that the smart, clear-thinking material of the Christian Research Journal will continue as an online publication. Nearly weekly, you can anticipate a brand-new Journal post– and listen to our publication’s podcast, Postmodern Realities including author interviews (subscribe at your preferred podcast streaming service). “The very same quality and amount of essays and posts that customers have actually gotten in our print edition will now be released specifically on our site (equip.org) in our short articles area free of charge! You will not require a paid membership any longer to read our short articles.” Cogdill explained the relocation as “crucial in gearing up the church worldwide due to the fact that many church leaders and pastors in the 10/40 Window can not manage a membership to the Journal.” Called Forward, the publication was introduced in the 1970s by Christian Research Institute creator Walter Martin and editor-in-chief Elliot Miller. It transitioned into complete color in the late 1980s, stated Cogdill, who hosts the publication’s podcast Postmodern Realities. “This relocation is the very best of both worlds, as we bring the Journal’s present material as a web publication to everybody online: to fellow followers, applicants, and even doubters who come across our product and get something to chew on,” she composed. “So this is not a ‘goodbye’ at all.” Image courtesy: © Getty Images/Daniel Tadevosyan Michael Foust has actually covered the crossway of faith and news for 20 years.
