Ethics in Conversation (EiC) offers succinct, insightful Christian perspectives on a range of contemporary ethical issues, as well as book reviews and conversations with authors or practitioners. In 2024, KLC launched an extensive series under the EiC banner called Apologizing for Public Theology (APT), which elaborates on the thinking behind and implications of this important discipline.
