Our online store is where you can purchase print edition copies of our regular magazine, The Big Picture (available in the UK and USA only), as well as our journal Nuances, and other publications and items from within the wider KLC community which we hope to make available in the future.
The Big Picture magazine aims to explore some of the myriad ways Christ is present and playing in all of life.
Issue 08 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.

Issue 05 explores, among other things, the theme of Journalism, with the journalism articles 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.
As we host different lectures and events under our Nuances in Public Theology banner, we will occasionally collect and publish the essays that arise in our Nuances journal series. The journals are available both for order in hard copy and for download in digital PDF. The video lectures will also be available for viewing.
In this inaugural volume, Nuances 01, we have published the four essays presented our recent event Søren Kierkegaard and Spirituality: A Dialogue with C. Stephen Evans. In this collection four scholars engage with Professor Evans’ excellent work Kierkegaard and Spirituality: Accountability as the Meaning of Human Existence, as well as explore Kierkegaard’s contribution to the field of Christian Spirituality more broadly.
The essays include:
