The Banner of Truth Trust is an evangelical and Reformed Christian publishing house founded in London in 1957[1] 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. 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.[2] The magazine first appeared in September 1955 and as of December 2010 had reached issue number 566. There are conferences held in three countries: UK, USA (annual) and Australia (every two years).[citation needed]
The Banner of Truth Trust has been connected with the revival of interest in evangelical Calvinism in 20th century England.[3] It has promoted Puritan theology[4] and helped resurrect the ideas of Jonathan Edwards.[1][5][6] Alister McGrath refers to the "revival in Puritan spirituality that had been borne aloft on the wings of Banner of Truth's inexpensive paperbacks."[7]
