The Good News is a free religious magazine published bimonthly by the United Church of God (UCG). Subscriptions and printing costs are covered by tithed donations from UCG's members and employees. Subject matters include Christian living, Bible prophecy, warnings to the English-speaking world, social issues, defense of creationism against evolution, world news and prophecy as interpreted by UCG's fundamental beliefs. Articles are primarily written by the church's ministry.
Its sister publications are World News and Prophecy and the teen-focused magazine Vertical Thought covering largely the same subjects, sticking very closely to the church's doctrines of the millennial reign of Jesus Christ and the coming Apocalypse.
The Good News is descended from a magazine of the same name originally published by the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) from 1951 to 1986. UCG split from WCG in 1995 over doctrinal disagreements and started publishing its own version of The Good News the same year.
The magazine is also attached to a weekly television program, Beyond Today, hosted by UCG pastors Darris McNeely, Gary Petty and Steve Myers. It follows the magazine's themes by discussing world events through the filter of the church's apocalyptic beliefs and gospel of "God's soon-coming kingdom."
The Good News is published in English, Spanish, German, French and Italian.
