These days, reading the printed page is a respite from the onslaught of the online news cycle and our social media streams. While all of CT’s print features also appear online, there’s something special about taking a break from a screen to feel the printed page in your hands, to experience words and art together.

Our subscribers, especially those also receiving hard copies, have commented how beautiful, relevant, and enjoyable our recently redesigned print magazine is. That’s not without a whole lot of work! For each edition, our editorial leadership creates an issue schedule, passes out assignments, and works on multiple drafts with authors. Then we collaborate with our design team who lays out the text and  contracts with illustrators to produce what you see on the printed page.

This collaborative work makes the whole process better as image speaks to word and word speaks to image. Together, in each issue, they create a conversation we hope that causes you to pause, wonder, and think anew about the application of Christian faith to culture, ideas, and bear truth to the world around us.
