About Us
New Life is Australia's only interdenominational Australia-wide news magazine. It aims to bring to people the news the secular media doesn't cover: the dreams and achievements of Christians in their everyday lives; news of mission agencies and missionaries; and news of Christians who have achieved in their field - whether in business, sport, or the arts. New Life also aims to highlight the Christian perspective in current events and issues.
History
The editorial in The Keswick Quarterly and Upwey Convention News of November 1935 called for an editor who would start a Christian journal giving news of preachers and workers, evangelists, missions and missionaries, providing book reviews and giving outspoken and definite Christian witness.
Meanwhile in February 1932 Eric Daley, the son of the editor and publisher of the The Kerang Times, who had worked on that paper, had come to Melbourne to study at the Melbourne Bible Institute (MBI, now the Bible College of Victoria). He discovered his talents were not as a preacher, so he returned to his former job in Kerang.
John Knox, with whom he had studied at MBI, was keen to start an eight-page newspaper. So that is what these two young men, both in their 20s did. The first edition of The Edifier was published on 10 June 1938.
In July 1939 the format was changed and it became New Life. It had already been commended for its high standards and support of the evangelical faith.
In 1982 Eric Daley was succeeded as editor by the Rev John Coleman but he died only a few years later and Eric again took over the editorship.
The Rt Rev CR (Bob) Thomas was appointed editor in 1988, follwed by the Rev Ross Prout in 1995 and Mrs Helen Woodall in November 2002. On 30 June 2006 New Life ceased as a weekly newspaper and on 1 July 2006 it began as a fortnightly news magazine under the leadership of a Production Team.
The magazine continues to bring news, inspiration and encouragement. As the only Christian news magazine it breaks down the isolation of people who are shut in or in remote parts of the world. It continues to uphold Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord in an ever-changing world.
