Peter W. Marty named publisher of the Christian Century

Author, radio host, and pastor Peter W. Marty has been named publisher of the Christian Century

“I love the vigorous public witness of the Century that is rooted in the church yet broad in its concern for social, political, and cultural issues of our day,” Marty said after the appointment was an­nounced. “Stepping into the publisher’s role at this time in life is a way of bringing together multiple passions of mine.”

Marty is senior pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church, a 3,500-member congregation in Davenport, Iowa. He will continue to lead that congregation while serving as publisher.
