The Gospel Advocate is a religious magazine published monthly in Nashville, Tennessee for members of the Churches of Christ. The Advocate enjoyed uninterrupted publication since 1866 until the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Gospel Advocate was founded by Nashville-area Restoration Movement preacher Tolbert Fanning in 1855.[1]: 361 Fanning's student, William Lipscomb, served as co-editor until the American Civil War forced them to suspend publication in 1861.[1]: 361
After the end of the Civil War, publication resumed in 1866 under the editorship of Fanning and William Lipscomb's younger brother David Lipscomb; Fanning soon retired and David Lipscomb became the sole editor.[1]: 361–362 In 1869 the Advocate was published weekly on Thursdays and reported a circulation of 1850.[2] The early Advocate included church news, Bible lessons, letters from readers, Bible lessons, book reviews, farm information, rural news, and anything the editors felt would be spiritually helpful.[1]: 361–362 Lipscomb edited the journal for fifty years following the Civil War, making him the most influential spokesman of the time among the Churches of Christ.[1]: 361–362 This was especially true in the South, because most of the other brotherhood journals were perceived as pro-Union.[1]: 361–362
