History
Truth Magazine began publishing in 1956 under that name.
In 1981, the magazine's foundation purchased the Gospel Guardian and renamed the magazine Guardian of Truth. Similarly, the foundation financing the publication was renamed the Guardian of Truth Foundation.
In December 1992, the magazine merged with Searching the Scriptures, a periodical edited by Connie W. Adams, who upon the merger became the associate editor. Archived issues of Searching the Scriptures are available via the magazine's website.{{cite web |url=http://www.truthmagazine.com/searching-the-scriptures-archives/ |title=Index of Searching the Scriptures archives |date=April 27, 2012 |publisher=Truth Magazine |access-date=June 19, 2020 }}
In January 1999, the publication reverted to its original name of Truth Magazine, although the foundation's name remained Guardian of Truth Foundation.
In the early 2010s, the publisher became known as Truth Publications.
