I've never read through an issue of
Christianity Today, though it seems like I'm constantly seeing people refer to either the magazine or the website. My question: Do any of you subscribe to
CT, and do you think it justifies the subscription price ($19.95 for 12 issues)?

Doesn't your school get it, just read it in the office?
I can't imagine it could be worth $20 though!

While once a subscriber, I never will again. It just isn't worth it.
CT usually posts the previous issue online when the current one is released. I don't think I lose out by not getting it immediately.
Additionally, if you subscribe to certain theological blogs, they write about articles in the current issue. If it seems compelling, I pick up a copy at a Christian bookstore.
I subscribe through the church, mainly to be aware of what's going on in contemporary evangelicalism. Its a decent magazine that deals with religious trends and theological issues on a popular level. Assuming the school gets it - and I'd be shocked if they did not - I'd just check it out in the library.
I don't feel like I'm wasting my money. But I also don't look to CT as a source for deep theological reflection. Its good for what it is.
I'd rather spend my money on Paste Magazine: http://www.pastemagazine.com/
Thanks to you, CT has just lost $20! I appreciate the responses.
Just follow CT online. You can find most of their content there, for free. Even at that cost it's not always worth the read :) I kid, I kid.
