- It is what it is
As others have said, the best thing about "Charisma" is its news section and its reportage of religious persecution and political issues.They do a decent job there. However, it typically takes a pop "People" magazine approach and tone with the rest of its material.The Bible teaching, what little there is of it, is generally shallow and designed to sell magazines, stroke readers, or stir controversy.
There is a definite bias towards the Word-Faith, Pentecostal, Arminian, feminist, ... Read More

Charisma takes a far too uncritical stance when it comes to aberrant theology like Word-faith, and in some instances seems to have "sold out" ... Read More

- Mixed Review
"Charisma" magazine has gone through positive and negative changes in the last 10 years.
What once was a lighthouse for charimastic Christians has evolved into a less discriminating publication. "Charisma" seems to have lost sight of the necessary theological assessment of varying beliefs. In a New Age, everything-might-be-true spiritual environment we live in, they need to be more cognizant of the challenges on charimastic belief.
In tough issues like the Browsnville Revival and ... Read More
