The Religion & Society Report , founded in 1984, is a monthly, eight-page periodical offering uncompromising, but civil analyses of cultural controversies and public issues from a Christian framework. Issues discussed include the relationship of civil authority to the Bible, abortion and euthanasia, medical ethics, theological trends in American and European churches, religious liberty, and reports on the persecution of Christians and other faith groups in foreign lands.
