Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop

See also: C&C; Workshop & SIS Internet Digest

Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop is a publication of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies. Between 1997 and 2002, it had merged with the Society's flagship journal, Chronology and Catastrophism Review. SIS Workshop was re-launched in 2003 as a three times a year publication.

Workshop is a forum for the continuing debate in related studies of revised chronologies, Biblical studies, mythology, astronomy, catastrophist geology and evolution.

The magazine promotes the exchange of ideas and information within the Society's membership, and was also of great value in relaying snippets of information, members' opinions, reviews of relevant news and articles, and in keeping members informed of anything that is likely to be of interest in the fields of chronology and catastrophism.

Back issues of all copies of Workshop are available on the Catastrophism CD-Rom. Non-members of the SIS can not buy indvidual copies of Workshop, but can purchase photocopies of individual asrticles. Details here.
