Overview
Overview
The magazine first appeared in September 1955 and as of December 2010 had reached issue number 566. The Banner of Truth Trust also holds conferences in three countries: UK (annual youth conference and annual ministers' conference), United States (annual conference), and Australia (every two years). The trust has been connected with the revival of interest in evangelical Calvinism in 20th century England. It has promoted Puritan theology and helped resurrect the ideas of Jonathan Edwards. Alister McGrath refers to the "revival in Puritan spirituality that had been borne aloft on the wings of Banner of Truth's inexpensive paperbacks." The Banner of Truth Trust's logo depicts George Whitefield preaching.
