Present Truth Magazine is an evangelical Christian magazine, started by Robert Brinsmead, a former Seventh-day Adventist.
History
The magazine was started by Robert Brinsmead in 1972. It was a free monthly publication.
The magazine's name was later changed to Verdict in 1978, following Brinsmead's rejection of major Adventist teachings. At that time, he stated in Verdict, as well, that this change was necessitated by the existence of a similarly titled Adventist periodical called "The Voice of Present Truth" (which began publication in 1963). Brinsmead's beliefs began to resemble liberal Christianity. It has ISSN 0198-7488 (or ISSN 0895-9951?), and is published from Fallbrook, California by Verdict Publications.
He wrote nothing for nearly ten years, until publishing Verdict again in 1998. His new articles showed a rejection of many orthodox Christian beliefs.
According to its charter, the Present Truth Magazine website is "produced and sponsored by the 'Gospel Friends Christian Fellowship', an association of evangelical Seventh-day Adventists... These views do not necessarily reflect the current views of Robert Brinsmead."
