Christianity Today is an evangelical Christian media magazine founded in 1956 by Billy Graham. It is published by Christianity Today International based in Carol Stream, Illinois. The Washington Post calls Christianity Today "evangelicalism's flagship magazine".[5] The New York Times describes it as a "mainstream evangelical magazine".[6] On August 4, 2022, Russell D. Moore—notable for denouncing and leaving the leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention[7]—was named the incoming Christianity Today Editor-in-Chief.[2]

Christianity Today has a print circulation of approximately 110,000 and an online readership of 2.2 million at ChristianityToday.com.[8] The founder, Billy Graham, stated that he wanted to "plant the evangelical flag in the middle of the road, taking the conservative theological position but a definite liberal approach to social problems".[9] Other active publications currently active within Christianity Today include: Building Church Leaders which has vocational education materials for evangelists and clergy.[10] Church Law & Tax which discusses tax compliance.[11] ChristianBibleStudies helps with Bible studies.[12] ChurchSalary helps churches with information on proper remuneration.[13] Ekstasis Magazine about Christian arts and media, specifically to encourage creativity within Christian culture to enable better storytelling, worldbuilding, and cultural representation.[14] PreachingToday is a publication specifically for those delivering sermons.[15] SmallGroups is a leadership magazine for smaller church planting groups such as missional living, cafe churches, pub churches, or house churches.[16]

Graham began the magazine as counterpoint to The Christian Century, the predominant independent periodical of mainline Protestantism, and as a way to bring the evangelical Christian community together.[9][17]
