The Banner of Truth Trust is an evangelical and Reformed Christian non-profit〔("The Story of The Banner of Truth" ) by Iain H. Murray.〕 publishing house, structured as a charitable trust〔(Charity Commission for England and Wales ) registered charity 235652.〕 and founded in London in 1957〔 by Iain Murray and Jack Cullum. Its offices are now in Edinburgh, Scotland with a key branch office and distribution point in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.〔 It positions itself within the conservative evangelical wing of the church, and has been described as "an extremely powerful organization within British nonconformist evangelicalism."〔 The trust publishes a monthly magazine called ''The Banner of Truth'' which normally appears eleven times per year, with there being a single issue for August and September.〔(The Banner of Truth Magazine Monthly Contents )〕 The magazine first appeared in September 1955〔The Banner of Truth Trust (1990), ''Index to Banner of Truth'', 1955-1989: "index to all issues of The Banner of Truth, the Trust's monthly magazine from the first issue in September 1955."〕 and as of December 2010 had reached issue number 566.〔(''The Banner of Truth'', Contents, Issue 566, December 2010 )〕 The Banner of Truth Trust also holds conferences in three countries: UK (annual youth conference and annual ministers' conference〔(Banner of Truth United Kingdom Conference Schedule ).〕), USA (annual conference), and Australia (every two years). The trust has been connected with the revival of interest in evangelical Calvinism in 20th century England. It has promoted Puritan theology and helped resurrect the ideas of Jonathan Edwards. Alister McGrath refers to the "revival in Puritan spirituality that had been borne aloft on the wings of Banner of Truth's inexpensive paperbacks." The Banner of Truth's commitment to reprinting Puritan writers has drawn criticism. One reviewer of a volume of sermons by Richard Sibbes criticised the Banner of Truth's policy and questioned the need for such reprints. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Banner of Truth Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
