The Australian Evangelical Alliance has launched a new online journal for theology and ministry called Crucible. The stated aim is ‘to enhance creative thinking about the relationship of biblical and theological truths to the life, ministry and mission of the church. It is a forum for scholars and practitioners to publish material, interact and resource the Christian community’. The first issue includes the following articles, reviews and poems:
