Disappointing
Research News has some positive aspects.There are interesting articles on the bridges between spirituality and science, on research into the psychology of spirituality, on Intelligent Design theory.But the majority of every issue is devoted to terse, dry, bland descriptions of conferences on science and religion.Conferences that sound like they would have been very interesting to attend, or even to read the papers presented there.But what we receive in Research News is more of a litany of what was said, with little substance.After the articles on various conferences, every issue also focuses extensively on ethereal subjects such as the nature of love.Love is an important subject, and it is good that people write about it.But the articles in Research News aren't written scientifically.One comes to the magazine hoping for a discussion of the spiritual and scientific worlds, and real, scholarly research.But most of the articles are more philosophical in nature, and not very deep at that.One gets the impression that the original authors or persons being discussed, presenting their views, had a lot of really deep thoughts on various matters- but the articles discussing them do not, in the majority of cases.It would be far more interesting to have in-depth articles on the effect that science has on one's religion, and the effect of one's religion on one's scientific endeavors.And there's a little of that, towards the back of each magazine.But too little.To get more, I'd recommend Science & Spirit instead.

A stimulating magazine with high professional standards.
In the recent past this magazine has evolved into a highly effective source of news and information on current issues in the field of science and religion. The editors have discovered a niche in the market, in that contributions by well-known scholars and experts are presented in the form of interviews or essays, which combine high scholarly standards with a degree of personal spontaneity in a way, that the rigors of formal professional publications do not allow. This makes for stimulating reading and has created a worthwhile periodical that I give my highest rating.

Informative, interesting, controversial
I've been getting the newspaper for about 18 months now, and find that it is one of the best investments of... I've ever made.As a health professional who is also interested in religion, this helps me to stay updated on the research that's coming out, it's application to my patients, and interesting books on the topic of religion and health that people are writing.Also, they have some controversial point - counterpoint discussions that they print that get me to thinking about these issues.Bravo -- job well done. ...

back to people
There was a time when people had names and so did their animals. Everyone felt safe, had common sense, and practiced common courtesy. This magazine is from these people. Lynn Miller,founder,will fascinate you with ideas, a humble attitude, and the truth. The letters section is now my favorite. In this section, people go out of their way to help other people with problems only because they can. It is also very entertaining as it is not edited. Even if you don't farm with horses or ever intend to farm, read this magazine. It is not full of advertisements or people telling you what to buy and why. (My husband and I have attended some farm progress days. The people there are neighbors you would want to live next door to.) Small farmers rock. Don't believe the adverisements. They don't stutter or drool. Our best presidents were not lawyers, but true farmers,stewarts of the land.

Simply Amazing!!
Wow. I've seen & read lots of magazines that say they support "small" farmers, but not ones like me who actually still use horses on their farm. This one really is amazing. It's sort of like browsing through all those old farm magazines your Granddad had stored up in the attic from the 20s and 30s, but with all the information updated and useable for today. There is just everything in this mag. Draft horses galore, even oxen!! All being used on farms or for logging or county fair shows. And lots of other great stuff too. Like making real maple syrup from sap collected by your own family, or how to grow better tomatos. Lots of information on livestock and rare breeds too. If you have a small farm, whether you use horses or not you really should see this magazine. I was hooked from the moment i saw my first copy! ... Read more
