7 Years of the 9Marks Journal

Mark Dever and the Staff at 9Marks has been publishing materials for the well-being of the church. In addition to all the audio and video resources you will find at the 9Marks site–as well as the multitude of interviews that Mark has done with other theologians–for the past seven years the staff has been publishing an online journal which deals with various aspects of ministry. The unique thing about the journal is that it deals specifically with matters concerning the health of a local church. Confronting dangers and imbalances in the local church, and encouraging thoughtful and faithful pastoral and deaconal ministry, the journal provides articles to strengthen the life of the church in the world. Below is a list–with a PDF link–for all the journals that have been published from September 2006-December 2012:
