Vol. 1. No. 2 (October 2008)
Welcome to the second edition of Crucible which has become, very quickly, an international journal with readers and contributors from around the world!
In this edition we have, as you can see from the list of contents on the home page, a variety of material dealing with significant biblical, theological, missional and pastoral issues. And it comes in different forms – under the heading of‘The Cauldron’ we publish formal, academic papers. These papers are all ‘blind’ peer reviewed by scholars in the field. In ‘The Filter’ there are many useful book reviews. Then, under the heading ‘The Test-tube’ you will find other ministry resources – including sermons, articles and poetry – related to the life, ministry and mission of the church.
This is because we believe strongly in the ministry of Christian thinking which applies theology to all areas of life.
If you would like to contribute an article for a future edition, please contact us.
We are very excited by the response from people around the world who continue to take advantage of our free subscription, being updated of new issues via RSS or email. Please continue to tell your friends and colleagues about us.
