CASE News 18th July 2011

July 18, 2011

1. Case Magazine

Case #27 is just about to go to press. Our theme for this issue is ‘Acts of God’, looking at natural disasters and the questions they pose for Christians: Should Christians defend God’s justice in the face of earthquakes, cyclones and the like, and if so, how? Does the media report on disasters in an ethical way, and how can Christians make a difference? How have Christians interpreted natural disasters throughout history? Can we predict or control natural disasters?

Become a CASE Associate to receive your copy of Case #27 and the subsequent three issues of Case magazine. By becoming a CASE associate you will also receive discounts/free entry to CASE events and will have access to associates-only resources on our CASE website.
