History
The Testimony was established in 1931 as 'a magazine for the study and defence of the Holy Scripture' and that, according to the magazine's website, remains its aim today. The Testimony Magazine Committee established the magazine as a supplement to community's main magazine The Christadelphian under the editorship of C. C. Walker, which carried general articles and ecclesial news. The first article of the first issue was entitled "A positive aim", written by Islip Collyer, many of whose books first appeared as series of articles in The Testimony. Other writers included W. H. Boulton, Melva Purkis, and Harry Whittaker among many others.
