biblical and honest August 21, 2010
Joe P. McAdams
For about the past ten years I have been reading World. Their mission statement says it all, "To report, interpret, and illustrate the news in a timely, accurate, enjoyable, and arresting fashion from a perspective committed to the Bible as the inerrant Word of God." World is like Newsweek from a Christian perspective! Edited by Marvin Olasky, boasting a bevy of great writers, and reprinting great syndicated columnists like Cal Thomas, World is a must read for anyone interested in keeping up with politics here and abroad.
News with Integrity from a Professional, Christian Worldview August 13, 2010
Rev. Dr. Charles Erlandson (Tyler, Texas United States)
Have you ever wondered if it were possible to have an excellent, professional news source that was also solidly Christian? If so, then World magazine is what you want. I've been reading World ever since it first came out, had many fewer readers, and had a less slick and professional looking format. There was not then and there still is not now another news source like it!
The best aspect of World is that it gives you a professional presentation of the news from a solid, thinking Christian orthodoxy. The Christianity represented by World is C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity": it's based on what Christian have always believed and is not theologically slanted, except in a mildly Reformed direction. Unlike Time, Newsweek, etc., which all pretend to be unbiased, World makes its journalistic stance clear from the beginning. World does more than give me the news, however: it challenges me in my Christian faith when I see all that God is doing in the world and calling me to do.
On the news side of things I've also found World to be excellent. Over the years they've covered things you won't see or hear elsewhere. The articles are informative but brief enough for you to know most of what you'd want to know on most issues. World also helps me keep up with intellectual and popular culture through its reviews of books, movies, and music.
I look forward to my copy every other week when it comes in the mail!
All the Difference in the World September 23, 2008

World Magazine started as a pretty flimsy weekly reader sort of magazine and has grown and improved to be in line with Time magazine, very professionally done. The difference is that World is from a Christian perspective- and that makes all the difference. Same things happening in the world but you get a much more hopeful and, I believe, honest account of the news.
World also reviews, books, music and movies from a Christian point of view, but it's not all 'puppy dogs and rainbows;' World has sometimes been accused of being to worldly for some readers but I find the perspective helpful and truthful.
My only complaint is that, due to postage prices, World had to go to a bi-weekly magazine making some of the news outdated by the time the magazine arrives.
World vs. Newsweek July 25, 2008

Having been a regular to subscriber to "Newsweek" my sister bought me a subsription of "World Magazine". Needless to say I no longer order Newsweek anymore. Being a moderate conservative (was planning on voting for Stpehen Colbert-Democrat, for president), I was very pleased with the clean, un-slanted, un-biased writings of World Magazine. Anytime I see Newsweek at a Doctor's office or anywhere else; I don't even consider picking it up becasue I know it is garbage that could be better used elsewhere. If you are tired of reading liberal-closed-minded articles (Newsweek only has 2 conservative writers and 21 liberal!) then World Magazine is definitly for you!
Not your father's newsweekly August 13, 2006
David A. Baer (Indianapolis, IN USA)

As an insatiable news junky and practicing Christian reader whose work takes me to many countries each year, I recently caved to my wife's insistence and began to read the World subscription that a relative had given us.
Alongside the Economist, Fortune, Money, Christianity Today, First Things, and the the internet news, World has quickly become a staple of my reading disciplines.
This thin, edgy source of news and analysis intentionally views and argues the news from a biblically-informed world and life view. Any news - to say nothing of all data we process - comes to us through some default or chosen paradigm, so to make this observation is not to set World apart in nature from other magazines of its genre, just to be explicit about the lens its editors maneuver with a rather admirable sort of cunning and a voice that has coalesced and matured over the short years of the magazine's existence.
For those who are somewhat familiar with the species and strains of Christian faith, it may help to note that World's particular lens is common to 'Reformed' faith. Essential features of this kind of Christian commitment include the conviction that 'all truth is God's truth'. An outcome of this is a full engagement with culture in all or most of its printable manifestations.
So you'll get movie and literature reviews as well as news and analysis. One tribute to this weekly is the comment that you won't find pious prudishness, but rather a full frontal interaction with what Christians and others are reading, watching, thinking, and talking about.
For this reason, the editorial line tacks with the kind of 'cultural conservatism' often dismissed by wonks and talking heads, without the Southern-Fried Christianity that is too often considered to be its only generative motive.
Peek inside the credentials of its writers and opinion-makers and you'll find Ivy League credentials, minus the kow-towing.
Don't make it your only news source. But do read World.
