Premier Christianity is Britain's flagship Christian magazine, offering thoughtful interviews, theology, apologetics and cultural analysis alongside its news coverage. The app delivers the full magazine plus web content, with a subscription unlocking the complete archive.
Our verdict
Premier Christianity is less a breaking-news feed and more a considered monthly companion for the thinking Christian. Its writing spans theology, apologetics, church trends, interviews with leading voices and cultural commentary, and it consistently reads as carefully edited rather than churned out, which is exactly why its App Store rating sits near the top of the category.
The app itself is a pleasure, presenting each issue cleanly and syncing with the website's ongoing articles. The caveats are the ones you would expect from a premium magazine: it is UK-centric in outlook, it moves at a magazine's pace rather than a newsroom's, and the best of it sits behind a subscription. If you want minute-by-minute headlines, this is not that.
For readers who value substance over speed and want to understand the questions behind the news, Premier Christianity is one of the most rewarding titles in Christian media. Sample the free articles first, and upgrade if you find yourself wanting the full archive and every issue.
