Insight (Adventist magazine)

Insight, successor to The Youth's Instructor, was a weekly magazine designed for Seventh-day Adventist young people, published from 1970–2017 by Review and Herald. It was described as one of the "most important" Adventist magazines.

History and profile

Under the editorship of Lora E. Clement in the early-mid 1900s, the circulation increased from about 25,000 to 50,000.
