You may be wondering whether, where and when a topic of particular concern has been or will be addressed at Called to Communion. Our fundamental approach to theological issues is to first address foundational matters before moving on to areas of theology that presuppose those foundations. We are committed to having a thorough discussion on matters of importance to Catholic and Reformed Christians. To this end, we are preparing a series of in-depth, peer-reviewed articles. If your area of particular interest or concern has not yet been addressed, please be patient. We are working on it. In the meantime, feel free to check out the blog posts, which are (by design) more topical and wide-ranging than the articles.
