The Christadelphian is a Bible magazine published monthly by the Christadelphian Magazine and Publishing Association (CMPA) of Hall Green, Birmingham, England. It states that it is 'A magazine dedicated wholly to the hope of Israel' and, according to the magazine website, it 'reflects the teachings, beliefs and activities of the Christadelphians'.[1]
History edit
The magazine was founded in 1864 as The Ambassador of the Coming Age under the editorship of Robert Roberts. The name was changed to The Christadelphian in 1869.[2] Subsequent editors include C.C. Walker (editor from 1898–1937), John Carter (1937–1962), Louis Sargent, Alfred Nicholls, Michael Ashton and presently Andrew Bramhill.
Content edit
The magazine contains a wide variety of articles, including exhortations from Breaking of Bread services, studies of Biblical characters, articles on Christian living, reviews of Bible-related books, and comment on relevant current events in relation to Bible prophecy. Items for publication are produced by potentially any Christadelphian, pending the editorial process. There is also a section dedicated to Christadelphian events and news from congregations, such as notifications of baptisms and deaths.
Other publications edit
Back issues (from 1864–2000) are available from the CMPA on CD-ROM and from 2001 to 2010 as a downloadable PDF; and an audio edition of The Christadelphian (2006 onwards) is available on cassette, audio and MP3 CD.
