“I couldn’t be more pleased,” Smith said about turning over the role of president and CEO of the media ministry to Dalrymple.

Timothy Dalrymple became president and chief executive officer of the media ministry Christianity Today on May 1.

“The legacy of Chris­tianity Today is extraordinary—but the future is even more exciting,” he said in a statement. “Christianity Today possesses the legacy, the credibility, the resources, and the worldwide reach to tell the story of the global church in ways it has never been told before.”

He was a competitive gymnast until an injury ended his career, and he turned to campus ministry and mission work abroad. He graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary with an MDiv and from Harvard University with a PhD in modern Western religious thought.
