''Direction'' is an academic journal launched in 1972. It is the product of a merger of two earlier journals: ''The Voice of Mennonite Brethren Bible College'' (Winnipeg, MB) and ''The Journal of Church and Society'' (Fresno, California and Hillsboro, Kansas).

''Direction'' was originally sponsored by Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary (Fresno), Fresno Pacific College (Fresno), Tabor College (Hillsboro, KS), and Mennonite Brethren Bible College (Winnipeg, MB). The partnership would later include Columbia Bible Institute (now College; Abbotsford, BC) and Bethany Bible Institute (later Bethany College; Hepburn, SK). More recently, MB Seminary (Langley, BC) has become a partner. The Canadian and US MB Conferences also sponsor the journal.

The journal's initial purpose was to support the founding schools in their education of pastors, missionaries, and lay persons and to assist the church in its witness to Jesus Christ around the world. But today it also serves the wider religious scholarly community by providing a forum for addressing biblical, theological, ethical, pastoral, educational, and evangelistic concerns, from both international and local perspectives. Its role is complementary to, but distinct from, scholarly journals of a technical nature and denominational periodicals.

Apart from guest editors, the journal has been served by five general editors: Delbert Wiens (1972–75), Allen Guenther (1981–89), Elmer Martens (1976–81; 1989–95), Douglas Miller (1997–2007), and Victor Froese (2007 to the present).
