As America teetered on the edge of revolution, the magazine called for more innovation, responsibility, sensitivity, and stewardship.

CT helped readers make sense of wild cultural changes in 1969.

In 1968, CT grappled with the Vietnam War and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.

CT reported on 1967 “message music,” the radicalism on American college campuses, and how the Six-Day War fit into biblical prophecy.

In 1966, CT reported on church activities but also on LSD, The Beatles, and the war in Vietnam.

CT reports on civil rights, the “death of God” theology, and an escalating conflict in Vietnam.

In 1964, CT urged Christians to “be what they really are—new men and women in Christ.”

CT reported on the assassination of a president, a Supreme Court ban on Bible-reading in schools, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

CT considered paperback books, the Peace Corps, and the first man in space.

A Catholic on the campaign trail and the “possibly catastrophic character of what is happening under our eyes” caused deep concern in 1960.
