CT’s “Beautiful Orthodoxy” Book of the Year**

*Her.meneutics is Christianity Today’s website for women, where our writers cover news, cultural analysis, and church trends from the perspective of Christian women. Learn more about Her.meneutics at Christianitytoday.com/women/.

**Beautiful Orthodoxy is the core philosophy guiding CT’s ministry. It describes a mission, across all our publications, to proclaim the truth, beauty, and goodness of the gospel in a gracious, non-antagonistic tone. Learn more about the cause of Beautiful Orthodoxy from CT editor Mark Galli, in this essay and this interview. The winner of CT's Beautiful Orthodoxy Book of the Year will be featured prominently in the January/February 2017 issue.

Her.meneutics and Beautiful Orthodoxy are special add-on categories. Books nominated in these categories must have first been nominated in one of the other main categories. (They will be eligible to win more than once.) The add-on fee is $15 for either Her.meneutics or Beautiful Orthodoxy, or $30 for both.
