Christianity Today Awarded Grant to Build an Audience for Science and Faith
Contact: Cory Whitehead, Christianity Today, 630-260-6200 ext 4220

CAROL STREAM, Ill., Feb. 2, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- Christianity Today has received a $269,000 grant to build an audience for science and faith, primarily through the nonprofit ministry's The Behemoth digital magazine. The grant from the John Templeton Foundation is a two-year project beginning in January 2016.

Launched in late 2014, The Behemoth publishes a variety of subject matter to inspire awe and wonder of God, and this grant will further sharpen its editorial focus to make the relation of science and faith stronger.

This grant is multifaceted and includes the hiring of a part-time science editor position to bring a new level of science expertise to the staff. More science-related articles will be released in The Behemoth and across other ministry publications, including Christianity Today and Books & Culture, throughout the next two years.

There will also be a strong emphasis on discovering and nurturing a new, specific crop of writers, scientists who can write journalistically and journalists who have a background and passion in science and Christianity. This will be accomplished through writing workshops, an essay contest, and other mentoring-type relationships with Christianity Today.

The Behemoth Editor Ted Olsen states, "We believe that, in today's world, it is essential for Christians to understand how both the natural and social sciences can shape and deepen the living out of our faith. This generous grant from the Templeton Foundation will allow Christianity Today to lead in creating thoughtful, balanced content to help Christians see how science continues to align with—and not detract from—our faith."

The aim of this grant is that through Christianity Today's reach, hundreds of thousands of Christians' imaginations will be expanded and their faith strengthened by what we know and can learn from the sciences.

Christianity Today is a nonprofit, global media ministry centered on Beautiful Orthodoxy—strengthening the church by richly communicating the breadth of the true, good, and beautiful gospel. Reaching over four million people monthly with various digital and print resources, the ministry equips Christians to renew their minds, serve the church, and create culture to the glory of God.
