published by the Seventh-day Adventist Church or by its church members. They include both official and unofficial publications relating to Seventh-day Adventism. Magazines which are only available on the internet are not included. Most periodicals are listed by location of the publisher. A brief list of the most circulated periodicals is also included.

Periodicals by circulation

The list of Adventist periodicals by circulation may give some indication of notability, but this criterion alone does not measure the impact of a magazine, and gift subscriptions and other freely distributed magazines might be expected to have an inflated circulation. As an example, one may assume that academic journals have more influence than their lower circulations suggest. Items here are also listed by location below. Many older issues of these periodicals can be viewed online at th
