The Gospel Magazine PUBLISHING THE TRUTH SINCE 1766

Archives of Past Publications of the Gospel Magazine


Progress of the work


Over the course of the coming 12 months we aim to finish duplicating all extant copies of the Gospel Magazine that are more than three years old, into digital formats that will be available for everyone in the world to read on the Internet. We have so far scanned and uploaded some 97%* of all the Gospel Magazines that have been published since 1766 and we aim, God willing, to complete the project by around late 2012. Gospel truth has not changed a jot since 1766. If successful this project promises to be an incomparable resource which it is hoped will provide great blessing and edification to our readers.


(*Some 2,776 of 2,860 published,as at 28th December 2011; 84 publications outstanding)

Our present challenge


Over the last five months, we have been scanning and uploading magazines at an average rate of 0.52 magazines a day. At this speed, the entire project would be completed by the end of May 2012. However, our progress rate has now stalled as we are having difficulty acquiring outstanding volumes.


There are several people working round the globe on this project on an ongoing basis and it is not always possible perfectly to co-ordinate agreement between indexing and publishing of magazines. Please note therefore that if a listed title fails to download, this is probably only a temporary shortcoming and the publication is expected to be available soon.



The future of a free Internet is uncertain


We would strongly encourage readers to save copies of these publications to their own computers as the future of an uncensored Internet is looking uncertain and recent trends in legislation seem to indicate that the free expression of Christian opinion, especially where it touches other ‘faiths’ will likely not be tolerated indefinitely.


It is our understanding that the Internet in its present form is in the process of being dismantled and that in the near future websites will be required to be hosted as sub-domains of strictly moderated mainstream sites, and that there will be subscription and downloading charges associated with browsing these websites, assuming of course that the site’s content is judged acceptable by the hosting company. Since the Gospel is offensive to the many who wish to continue to sin without being criticized, it is doubtful whether uncensored expression of Gospel truths will likely continue to be possible. Those wishing to obtain more information regarding our concerns should please see here.


It is not yet apparent how many years or months remain during which visitors will be able to enjoy free access to this site, however we would nonetheless aim to encourage a sense of urgency amongst those willing to download and share with others the resources on this site.
