Publications

New Publications

In 2002 CMF republished Cure for Life by Bernard Palmer. Two thousand copies were pre-sold thereby ensuring that the costs of the print run were covered even before general sales. In 2003/early 2004 the Publications Committee hopes to publish Hard Questions about Health and Healing, Christian Distinctives in Medicine , and Mad, Bad or Sad?

Former CMF General Secretary Andrew Fergusson’s new book Hard Questions about Health and Healing is due to be published this September. The editing of Christian Distinctives in Medicine by Dr Michael Webb-Peploe has been completed and the script is now at copy-editing stage. It is not anticipated that Mad, Bad and Sad will be completed until late 2003 and therefore publication is not expected before 2004.

Translations

It has been agreed by the Executive Committee that £10,000 should be allocated to the publication of the Russian and Romanian editions of Matters of Life and Death, and the Albanian and Russian editions of Cure for Life.

The Russian translation of Matters of Life and Death was released on 26 June, with 1,000 copies available for CMF to distribute through summer teams and the Samara conference. By using MIRT Publishers of St Petersburg we have been able to produce 3,000 hardback copies at a cost of £3,000.

Dr Ileana Radu of the Christian Medical Association of Romania (CMAR) has agreed to coordinate translation of a Romanian edition by July 20 03. For a print run of 1,000 copies, the total cost is £2,50 0 . Dr Eralda Turkeshi has completed the Albanian translation of C u re for Life a n d Vernon Publishing in Tirana are in the process of printing 1,000 for £1000 as C M F News went to press. Most of the copies will be given free to the students of the Albanian IFES movement (BSKSh) to use in their Bible studies as well as evangelism. A Russian translation is well underway.

Websites

Since January 2003 the newly designed CMF website at www.cmf.org.uk has received 111,059 visits by 70,232 visitors. The website CD-ROM is selling well and a new edition is to be produced in 2003. Religious Studies on the Web (RS-Web) described our website www.ethicsforschools.org as this ‘great new site for ethics’. There have been 10,271 visits to the website since January 2003 and 200 CDROMs have been sold at a cost of £5 each.

People

The Publications Committee has been fortunate in the last year in having the support of Jacky Engel BMedSci MA MPhil as Publications Assistant and we are delighted that the Executive Committee has extended Jacky’s appointment until Summer 2004. A Russian Christian medical student, Masha Mustaphina will spend two weeks in the CMF Office this August translating existing CMF material into Russian.
