There is a new magazine coming out in March – for modern Christian women. Put out by the Relevant Media Group, that gave us the magazine for modern Christian men, er, wait…men & women. Well, shoot. I thought Relevant was a magazine for young, hip, relevant Christian 20-30 somethings – both men and women. But, now Relevant has put out a magazine directly specifically at women – Radiant (website here). So, this begs the question, was Relevant directed primarily at men? Or has it been? Anyway, I don’t know a whole about this, but ran across this blog here which discusses some of the implications and questions of sexism stemming from this.
This isn’t meant to bash Relevant. I do have problems with some of the theology of Relevant, but I’m actually going to be writing an article for them in March, so I’ll be letting you know about that. I just think this is interesting – was Relevant Magazine turning into a magazine directed specifically at young conservative Christian men? And is Radiant now the version for young conservative Christian women? Interesting. Sounds much like Breakaway and Brio. Huh.
