History Repeats Itself

Coming soon: the new Adventist Review

by

Justin Kim

SINCE 1849, Adventist Review has encouraged, inspired, and informed the Advent movement since its inception in North America.

SINCE 2005, Adventist World has streamed the light of truth, scriptural teaching, and the Advent message around the world.

IN JULY 2025, both streams of light will merge.

Coming soon: the new Adventist Review

  • Reaching back to move forward

  • Continuing the prophetic legacy of the Advent movement

  • Preparing, uniting, strengthening, and deepening a people’s faith

After 11 issues of The Present Truth and five issues of The Advent Review in 1849 and 1850, James White created a new publication containing the best of both. The new journal, Second Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, eventually became what we know today as Adventist Review.

History will now repeat itself in August 2025. The almost 20-year-old Adventist World international magazine and the 175-year-old Adventist Review will come together as one brand continuing the best of both publications under one title. What should you expect?

One Magazine for the World Church.
Adventism is a worldwide movement, and our magazine will reflect that mission. The new format will make it easier to share, print, and distribute globally—delivering inspiring, Christ-centered content across cultures and continents.

Concise and Curated With More Clarity and Less Clutter.
Quality over quantity! Each issue will deliver the same great Bible-based features and news stories in a format that respects time. We’re streamlining the magazine for a sharper, more focused reading experience.

Refined for Revival.
We’re simplifying the magazine to bring the most inspiring Christ-centered content to revive and inspire Seventh-day Adventists to become more focused on purpose, mission, and passion for Jesus. Less distraction, more devotion.

Echoing the Legacy of the Printed Word.
Since the days of the early Adventist presses, the mission has been to share truth in the most impactful way. We embrace that mission by creating a magazine that is more concise, utilizes more digital platforms, and ensures each page is filled with Christ-centered, Bible-based, and absolutely Adventist content.

A Spirit of Stewardship, a Mission of Truth.
Early Adventist publications were printed with great care, using every resource wisely to spread the gospel. We continue that legacy by streamlining the magazine—fewer pages with a sharper focus on a mission of truth.

Reaching the World One Page and Screen at a Time.
The Advent message is for all nations, and we seek to make it even more accessible. This magazine evolves—more global and different formats—to adapt to Adventists on every continent. Designed for an international movement, we hope the new format will travel further and inspire deeper.

Inspired by the Past, Focused on the Future.
James White’s first Adventist paper, The Present Truth, was small but powerful. We hope to follow that tradition, signified by a new logo that is inspired by the past to push the message of Jesus’ return in the soon future.
