From its origins as a music zine in the 60s, Premier Christianity magazine – in all of its many guises – has spent the past 60 years helping people encounter God through media. 

The decades may have brought changes in title and style, but some things remain the same.

We’re still interviewing Christian leaders, artists and politicians, bringing you exclusive insights from those shaping church and culture.

We’re still tackling hot topics such as racism, sexuality and ethical issues, enabling Christians to participate in the biggest debates of the day.

We’re still shining a light on the areas that need to change in our society and our churches – and celebrating the many good news stories that often get overlooked.

In other words, we’re still on a mission to put faith at the heart of everyday life.

Here’s some of our favourite covers from the archives, including four selected to represent the years that current members of the Premier Christianity team were born. Can you guess which covers come from which staff member’s year of birth?
