'''''The Christian Century''''' is a [[magazine]] closely associated with the [[Ecumenical Movement]].  It was founded in 1884 and is still published today.  It has long been known for advocating very [[liberal]] views of [[theology]] and the [[Bible]], such as [[higher criticism]] and the [[social gospel]].  As such it was frequently criticized by [[fundamentalist]] and [[evangelical]] [[Christian]]s, and the magazine ''[[Christianity Today]]'' was founded by evangelicals in 1956 as a response to counter the influence of ''The Christian Century''.
