Crucible, the Journal of Christian Social Ethics
Crucible is an essential source of inspiration for all who are interested in Christian Social Ethics and the interaction of Church and Society.
Engaging with the challenges facing society
We believe that the Christian gospel is inescapably relevant to the social questions and upheavals of our times.
Each issue of Crucible reflects theologically on key themes of political, social, cultural or environmental significance. Recent articles have considered inter-generational fairness, religious diversity, climate change, and the demands of a post-Brexit Britain.
