A Journal of Theology & Public Policy
Since its inception, the Churches' Center has contributed to the dialogue between theology and praxis through its publications. The Churches' Center publishes a journal, Shalom Papers: A Journal of Theology and Public Policy. Each issue offers an in-depth look at an issue at the intersection of theology and public policy.
