World (magazine)

World (often written in all-caps as WORLD) is a biweeklyChristian news magazine, published in the United States by God's World Publications, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Asheville, North Carolina.World differs from most other news magazines in that its declared perspective is one of Christian right evangelical Protestantism. Its mission statement is "To report, interpret, and illustrate the news in a timely, accurate, enjoyable, and arresting fashion from a perspective committed to the Bible as the inerrant Word of God."

Each issue features both U.S. and international news, cultural analysis, editorials and commentary, as well as book, music and movie reviews. In addition, World also publishes an end of the year issue that covers the top stories from the previous year, obituaries, and statistics.

History

Launched by Joel Belz in 1986 as a replacement for The Presbyterian Journal, at that time a 44-year-old publication that had been founded specifically "to challenge the assumptions and activities of the liberals and to return the [Southern Presbyterian] denomination to its biblical moorings", World was intended to serve "an educational rather than an ecclesiastical task—a vision focused on the importance of a biblical worldview for all of life". It started small, with only about 5,000 initial subscribers and only 12,000 after three years. The publishers initially requested donations in every issue to stay afloat. It has grown significantly in the years since, and as a non-profit organization it continues to accept donations as its publishers have expressed a desire to expand. In 2012, World began referring to itself as WORLD News Group, which includes its print, digital, and broadcast properties.
