This inaugural issue of
Cedarville Magazine
has
been a long time in the making. Well over a year ago,
the editorial staff began dreaming about how we could
enhance Cedarville’s publications. We sought your
input and thus set to work on a revised strategy, content
plan, and ultimate merger of
Torch
and
Inspire
into one.
Welcome to
Cedarville Magazine
. Although the name, size, and format
are different, you can expect that we’ll continue to engage Cedarville
family and friends as we explore compelling topics through a distinctly
biblical lens.
Biblical integration into every area of life is at Cedarville’s core. It
happens on a daily basis in classrooms, chapel, small groups, student
programming, and more. We value the opportunity to explore issues and
challenges across Christianity and culture from a biblical perspective.
As we remain grounded in biblical truth, there is freedom in discussing
and unpacking issues that are culturally uncomfortable or nebulous. That’s
why we have engaged topics such as immigration and a theology of rest.
And that’s the motivation behind an upcoming conference in November
to affirm biblical truth in a casual sex culture.
It’s my hope that
CedarvilleMagazine
will both encourage and challenge
you as you work through this material personally or collectively in small
groups and Bible studies. I’d love to hear from you if you have feedback
or ideas for us to consider in future issues.
I would be remiss to not acknowledge some talented partners in this
work, particularly Carol Lee ’96, Managing Editor; Chad Jackson ’05,
Creative Director; and our design team.
Lastly I want to thank Dr. Bill Brown for his influence on this magazine.
In personal conversations, in writings, and in chapel or public remarks,
he has modeled a gracious and biblical approach to cultural engagement.
Best regards,
Joel Tomkinson ’03
