CT has helped inform how we think and respond in the world around us, whatever the cause or area, whether political or economic or social or theological. CT articles over the years have been formative for our thinking.

CT avoids being exclusive about their audience. CT tries to address the broader church and to press their thinking on a variety of issues.

They [CT columnists] were theologically robust, not clichÉs and slogans. Each month these columns became for me a kind of Radio Free Bible Belt, dispatches from a place where evangelicals stood with courage for the total truthfulness of God's word and did so not as angry, dispirited sectarians but as ambassadors of a gospel that is good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all peoples.

CT is a village green for American and global evangelicalism where people from various tribes can interact with one another and with the outside world.

CT's work validates my work in teaching good, true, and beautiful as an approach to not only faith but how we can live an integrated life. The creation of Beautiful Orthodoxy has had a ripple effect through so many places.

CT allows us to listen in on the way God is working in different groups and regions through the filter of what's good and true and beautiful. It doesn't just talk about Beautiful Orthodoxy in theory, CT models it in practice.
