This chapter examines the founding and rise to prominence of Christianity Today, the most important religious magazine of the 1960s and 1970s. It details the magazine’s founding by the revivalist Billy Graham and his father-in-law L. Nelson Bell, both of whom envisioned a periodical that would target ministers with a mix of theological content and conservative political commentary. With financial backing from J. Howard Pew and long list of conservative businessmen, the magazine soon outpaced its liberal rivals; and under the editorial guidance of Carl Henry, a noted theologian, it developed a novel critique of mainline religious authority that may well have exacerbated the divide between mainline elites and average churchgoers. Yet Henry’s insistence that evangelicals were obligated take notice of social problems such as racial discrimination ultimately created an inbridgable rift between the magazine’s editor and its financial backers, and in 1967 Henry was forced to relinquish his post.
本章考察了《今日基督教》的创立和崛起，这是20世纪60年代和70年代最重要的宗教杂志。书中详细介绍了该杂志由复兴派牧师葛培理(Billy Graham)和他的岳父l·纳尔逊·贝尔(L. Nelson Bell)创办，两人都设想创办一份针对牧师的期刊，内容既有神学内容，也有保守的政治评论。在j·霍华德·皮尤(J. Howard Pew)和一长串保守派商人的资金支持下，该杂志很快超越了自由派对手;在著名神学家卡尔·亨利(Carl Henry)的编辑指导下，它对主流宗教权威提出了一种新颖的批评，这种批评很可能加剧了主流精英和普通信徒之间的分歧。然而，亨利坚持认为福音派教徒有义务关注种族歧视等社会问题，最终在杂志编辑和其财务支持者之间造成了不可弥合的裂痕，1967年亨利被迫辞去了他的职位。
