The Briefing is an evangelical Christian magazine published by Matthias Media in partnership with The Good Book Company (UK). It is printed monthly, and is circulated in Australia, North America and the United Kingdom. Although it is contributed by and targeted towards Christians of all denominations, the magazine has a distinctly Sydney Anglican slant.
The magazine was founded by Phillip Jensen, who is Dean of St. Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney and brother of the current Archbishop of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. The current editor is Tony Payne.
The Briefing promotes conservative evangelical theology and comments on current events from an evangelical viewpoint. It also features book reviews and Bible studies.
The magazine frequently critiques forms of Christianity with which conservative evangelicals (and particularly Sydney Anglicans) disagree. Various articles in the second half of 2006 and the early part of 2007 have examined liberal theology, Catholicism and Hillsong.
