Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Adventist Today (OCLC 28194459) is a quarterly Christian magazine representing a progressive Seventh-day Adventist perspective. First published in 1993, it is currently (as of 2014), edited by J. David Newman, the former editor of Ministry. It has offices in Sandy, Oregon and at La Sierra University.
History
The idea of the magazine was conceived in 1992 by Raymond Cottrell, Keith Colburn, Richard Hammill, Ervin Taylor and Jim Walters; all of Loma Linda, California. They sought for "objective news and open discussion of issues in order to achieve the representative type of church governance that it claims".[1]
The first issue was May/June, 1993. By the following year there were 2500 subscribers.[2] In late 1998 the number of paid subscribers was also around 2500.[1]
The creation of their website was announced in 1998.[3] A camp was first held in that same year.[4] Leadership changes occurred in 1999, in particular 3 women were elected to the board.[5]

Alden Thompson wrote
- "AT is critically loyal, representing the Adventist left. It is similar to Spectrum in perspective, but quicker to publish the 'news' and often more careless. In the past it has too easily succumbed to the temptation to publish ad hominem attacks."[8]
