Welcome to the home page of Stimulus, the New Zealand journal of Christian thought and practice.

Stimulus will be relaunched in April 2012 by Laidlaw College. It is intended to publish three issues per year. Any questions should be directed to the Editor, Philip Church (PChurch@laidlaw.ac.nz).

- Sexuality and Christ

- The gay-basher’s Bible

- Development

- The missional church

- Faith as fiction

- Transformative justice

- The Da Vinci Code

- Science and religion

- History, religion and war

- Gospel & public sphere

- The righteous rich

- Alternative worship

- Intelligent design

- Eco-theology

- Terrorism and religion

- The Christian mind

- IT, culture & the Church

- Is the left right?

We have also published interviews with prominent thinkers. We featured a number of regular columns – St Imulus, Pulpit, Models & Metaphors, Gospel & our Culture(s). We also included letters, cartoons, and stimulating book reviews.
