Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']'). The Banner of Truth Trust is an evangelical and Reformed Christian non-profit[1] publishing house, structured as a charitable trust[2] and founded in London in 1957[3] by Iain Murray and Jack Cullum. Its offices are now in Edinburgh, Scotland with a key branch office and distribution point in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.[1] It positions itself within the conservative evangelical wing of the church, and has been described as "an extremely powerful organization within British nonconformist evangelicalism."[4]

The trust publishes a monthly magazine called The Banner of Truth which normally appears eleven times per year, with there being a single issue for August and September.[5] The magazine first appeared in September 1955[6] and as of December 2010 had reached issue number 566.[7]

The Banner of Truth Trust also holds conferences in three countries: UK (annual youth conference and annual ministers' conference[8]), USA (annual conference[9]), and Australia (every two years[10]).

The trust has been connected with the revival of interest in evangelical Calvinism in 20th century England.[11] It has promoted Puritan theology[4] and helped resurrect the ideas of Jonathan Edwards.[3][12][13] Alister McGrath refers to the "revival in Puritan spirituality that had been borne aloft on the wings of Banner of Truth's inexpensive paperbacks."[14]

The Banner of Truth's commitment to reprinting Puritan writers has drawn criticism. One reviewer of a volume of sermons by Richard Sibbes criticised the Banner of Truth's policy and questioned the need for such reprints.[15]
