The Big Picture magazine Issue 06: The Nurture of Nature
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 Nurture of Nature and in it you will find articles about what recovering the doctrine of creation could mean for us today; how the doctrine of creation can help us have meaningful gospel conversations in a secular age; God’s plan for the nurture of nature; the intersection of our Christianity with the vocations of nature conservation as well as regenerative agriculture; common grace found in the natural world; what drives our nurture of nature; how nature nurtures a heart of worship; and so much more.
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.
