3. Case # 22 out this week

Case Magazine #22 is on the theme “God without Borders” and should be in mail boxes this week.  Our hope for this edition is to bring a range of theological and other disciplinary approaches to bear on the problems of life and the overlapping of local, global, national, and international spheres.  How do we make sense of the various layers of community, solidarity and ethical relationships created by the relations of these spheres?  What new historical conditions has globalization brought about?  We have a great list of articles and authors including: Stanley Hauerwas, Andrew Sloane, Matthew Tan, Luke Glanville, Erin Goheen, John Shellard, and reviews by Stuart Barton Babbage and Andrew Errington.
