The Christian Century generally ascribes a little more of a liberal slant to its writings than Christianity Today.
An article in the Oct. 6 issue, for example, commended President Obama for acknowledging the importance of “rugged individualism” and making a moral case for health-care reform.
Century also includes a half-page ad for emergence workshopping sessions in its Oct. 6 edition. Traditional, conservative Christians often perceive emergence as a threat to the faith.
The entire back page of the Century's Oct. 6 issue is devoted to an ad from IVP Books on social injustice, something many consider a liberal-leaning philosophy.
The words “evangelism” and “evangelical” appear far more frequently in Today than in Century.
Today does use one of President Obama's quotes, however, in its October “Quotation Marks” section. The publication can't be too conservative.
Today published a rather shocking article in its October issue entitled, “More evangelical therapists move from changing orientation to embracing faith identity for gays.” The article quoted those in favor of the method more than those opposed.
Neither magazine is extremely liberal or conservative, and the majority of Christians would probably digest their content without too many objections one way or the other.
