The Gospel Magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gospel Magazine is a Calvinist, evangelical magazine from the United Kingdom, and is one of the longest running of such periodicals, having been founded in 1766. Most of the editors have been Anglicans. It is currently published bi-monthly.
A number of well-known hymns, including Augustus Montague Toplady's Rock of Ages first appeared in the Gospel Magazine.
The Gospel Magazine Trust are currently working to get all of their extant copies - going back 240 years - digitized and uploaded onto their website. These will be available to read here.
