THE BIG PICTURE MAGAZINE

**Issue 08 of The Big Picture has arrived!**

AVAILABLE TO READ ONLINE, DOWNLOAD IN PDF, & ORDER IN PRINT

Issue 08 of KLC's The Big Picture magazine is now out and available to read online, to download for free from our website in PDF, and to order in print (UK and USA only).

Gerard Manley Hopkins famously wrote that Christ plays in ten thousand places. Public Theology is of little use if it does not enter into that play in every area of life. The Big Picture magazine aims to embody and express the myriad ways in which Christ plays in all of life: In people, in art, in places, in nature, in politics, in food, in music, in literature, in film, in sport, and in countless other areas.

This latest edition explores the theme of Craft, and in it you will find, among others, articles on why art matters today; the ethics of craft; the beauty and power of photography; how paying attention and being handy can be transformative; on doing well whatever your hand finds to do; on the importance of resisting the global consumer machine and making things by hand; on traditional Japanese boat building; on books as sacred sites; on the biblical foundations of journalism; on crafting human hearts; on the craft of translation; on pursuing obscurity; and much more.

Here are the ways you can read Issue 08 today:

"Does it surprise you to read that I, as an economist, view The Big Picture (TBP) as the best magazine for Christian economists bar none? It... is because TBP demonstrates to me the myriad of ways God is at work in the world. Don’t get me wrong; I am passionate about economics directly and about how Scripture speaks on such economic matters as creation, work, rest, debt, stewardship, poverty, integrity, and our relationship to others. At the end of the day, though, what I need is not more economics, but more glimpses of how God is at work in other aspects of life, in other ways. I am inspired by the articles, poetry, and art weaved throughout... They rejuvenate me and take me out of my disciplinary and geographic isolation and into community and fellowship with other Christians."

- Dr Robert Tatum (Professor of Economics; Cary Caperton Owen Chair in Economics at the University of North Carolina Asheville)
