My Favorite Christian Cultural Magazine September 14, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
More erudite and orthodox than Christianity Today, but not as impenetrably cerebral as First Things. I have subscribed to numerous Christian-themed publications over the year, and Touchstone is my favorite to date. It covers topics in literature, religion, science, art, music, politics, and culture from an orthodox Christian point of view. The writing is more "poetic" (for lack of a better word) than that I usually encounter in Christian magazines, without, at the same time, lacking substance. The articles are intelligent and interesting, and this is one of the few magazines I usually find myself reading in its entirety.
An open Conservative Christian discussion August 4, 2007

From the first issue this is a conservative magazine that presents historical biblical principles from Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant perspectives and applies them to our world today. The magazine contributors are varied and theologically deep.
A must read for conservative (orthodox with a small July 12, 2005
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Touchstone features articles, editorials, book reviews and other material from the perspective of Protestant (both mainline and evangelical), Catholic and Orthodox Christians who hold to traditional, orthodox understandings of Christian morality. It tackles the tough issues of our time both in scholarly articles and practical advice for parents who must raise children to be faithful in a post-Christian culture. While it does not seek a false ecumenicalism which demands unity at all cost (see the July/August 2003 issue on "Christian Unity & the Divisions we must Sustain"), it also recognizes that orthodox believers of all three major branches of Christianity must work together on moral issues on which we all agree.
The publisher, the St. James Fellowship, also produces an excellent devotional guide: The St. James Daily Devotional Guide for the Christian Year, available by subscription though [...].
A true touchstone for the heart and mind December 14, 2004
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
Touchstone is one of the better magazines/journals to discuss and debate the meaning of the mind and heart in the contemporary world by standing on the shoulders of those who have struggled with this perennial question in the past. The editors, numerous in number, are Orthodox, Roman, and Protestant Christians who take seriously the creeds and scriptures of the Church. In other words, they realize that Tradition is the glue that holds the Church together, and by extension, sanitizes and sanctifies culture.
First Things is also an excellent journal that you will want to check out as well. Enjoy!
Presents The Three Branches of Christianity June 29, 2004
15 out of 20 found this review helpful
This is a conservative magazine from the perspective of protestism, catholicism, and eastern orthodoxy. The perspective is based on the Bible and Early Church Councils. This is a good magazine, I recommend it.
