King's Business - 1955-08

why this magazine? M any of you have received this issue of The King’s Business Magazine through the courtesy of a friend. And naturally you want to know why. And you want to know what kind of a magazine The King’s Business is. Here are the answers to these questions along with a word about this month’s cover. 1) Why did you get this particular issue? As you look through it you’ll note that there is a wide variety of articles presenting the claims of Christ, plus three real-life accounts of how Christianity works in practice. When we announced we were planning such an issue our regular subscribers thought the idea was so interest­ ing that they wanted many of their friends to share this month’s issue with them. Actually we’re rather pleased that so many extra copies were ordered. W e believe you’ll find some really worth­ while reading whether you are a church-goer or a non-church­ goer. And we’d like your reaction to this special issue. Does it meet a need? How could it be improved? You may address your comments to The Editors, The King’s Business, 558 So. Hope St., Los Angeles 17, Calif. 2) What kind of a magazine is The King’s Business? The magazine has been published by the Bible Institute of Los Angeles since 1910. (The school is one of the West’s oldest Christian colleges and was founded by T. C. Horton and Lyman Stewart, founder and president of the Union Oil Company.) The maga­ zine has an international circulation and is completely independent of any one church group. The editors and writers for this issue represent a wide cross-section of church backgrounds: Baptist, Christian, Church of England, Congregational, Methodist, Mis­ sion Covenant, Presbyterian. The editors are trained journalists (Univ. of Calif., North­ western Univ.) and strive to present objective fact as free from personal bias as possible. W e believe a fresh review of the claims of Jesus Christ can bring genuine benefit to any life. And that’s the reason we designed this month’s cover around the idea that “An unexamined life is not worth living.” We be­ lieve all of us want to examine the basic.issues of life for ourselves.
