The Big Picture magazine | Issue 05

Description

The Big Picture magazine Issue 05.

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.

This issue of the magazine explores the theme of Journalism and is curated by KLC Research Fellow in Communication, Media and Journalism, Dr Jenny Taylor. Along with her guest editorial, “Real News: Use It or Lose It”, the magazine contains four more excellent pieces on journalism: “Wisdom Journalism Flourishes While Other Journalism Languishes” by Paul Glader, “Constructing the News: How Bias is Built In” by Robin Aitken, “Journalism is Not Public Relations” by Marvin Olasky, and “Truth Matters by Anna Abram”.

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 places. Of course we are all different and we live in different countries and places, and thus the way in which Christ plays in our lives will be different. Unlike most magazines which are written by others for us, we invite all members of our community and beyond, to write for TBP. As you discover how Christ is playing in your life, your family, your city, your country, we invite you to contribute short pieces, poetry, music, art, photographs, etc. As we do this together we will see from our differences how a huge view of Christ emerges, and how he is at work in so many different ways.
