The Best of Christianity Today
The Best of Christianity Today is a new series, featuring the most enduring articles from decades of Christianity Today written by the most respected voices in modern evangelicalism. Lexham Press is proud to partner with Christianity Today to bring these treasures of evangelicalism's heritage to readers today.
A New Publishing Partnership
Since 1956, Christianity Today has been the voice of evangelicalism in America—a bellwether of theology, politics, and culture for evangelicals. Some of the most influential and respected modern evangelical leaders have written for Christianity Today, shaping the minds and hearts of millions of Christians for more than half a century.
Over the next three years, Lexham Press will publish a number of titles compiling essays from Carl F. H. Henry, John Stott, Eugene Peterson, and more and covering topics from the basic doctrines of the faith to the intersection of Christianity and politics.
Stewards of the Earth
Christianity and Creation Care
Stewards of the Earth collects five decades of articles from Christianity Today that display the diversity and development of evangelical perspectives on creation care. Some articles address the concerns evangelicals have over cooperating with the broader environmentalist movement or lay out positive ways to navigate or overcome these hesitations. Other articles present constructive approaches to creation care. Readers will gain a nuanced view of evangelical thought over the decades.
Learn more“This poignant edited volume complete with a powerful introduction by Evangelical luminary Loren Wilkinson is hands-down one of the best one-stop-shop volumes on Evangelical thinking about creation care over the last few decades.”
“Here we are reintroduced to ourselves—yesterday and today. And in the midst we are challenged to think better about what it is we are trying to do—for ourselves, our planet, and our children. Perspective is a powerful thing.”
Pointing to the Pasturelands
Reflections on Evangelicalism, Doctrine, & Culture
Anglican theologian J. I. Packer was one of the most widely respected Christian writers of the twentieth century. He was known for profound theological writing that was always lively and worshipful. Pointing to the Pasturelands recovers several decades of Packer’s contributions to the pages of Christianity Today. This includes his editorial columns, longer articles, and brief answers to readers’ theology questions. The book concludes with a profile of Packer from Mark A. Noll. Enjoy timeless insights from a man whose life was devoted to knowing God and making him known.

“At once both a commentary on the times and explications of the faith, these shorter pieces are delightful, devotional gems.”
Suffering & Glory
Meditations for Holy Week and Easter
Suffering & Glory recovers some of the best Holy Week and Easter articles from half a century of Christianity Today. Guiding readers from Palm Sunday to Pentecost and including contributions from Tish Harrison Warren, J. I. Packer, Nancy Guthrie, and Eugene Peterson, Suffering & Glory will remind readers of the beauty of Christ’s death and resurrection.
Learn more“The Eastertide season has been celebrated by Christians across history in every tribe, nation, and tongue. I am thankful for this collection of essays celebrating the diverse voices that make up a symphony of Easter reflections from the church.”
“From calls to live out the implications of the Resurrection in our daily lives to reminders of the implausibility of the skeptics’ favorite tropes, this collection makes for a wonderful resource for the believer’s Easter contemplations.”
