Archive: Christian Reconstruction (1977-1997)
The Institute for Christian Economics published this newsletter every other month, beginning in 1977. This list is incomplete. I regard these as relevant today.
In alternate months, the ICE sent out Biblical Economics Today. The list is here: https://www.garynorth.com/public/14474.cfm. It is also incomplete.
I added newsletters as the years went on. The complete list is here: https://www.garynorth.com/public/department184.cfm. They have not all been scanned and posted.
I founded the ICE in 1975. It was a tax-exempt foundation. I never took a salary. I shut it down in December 2001. By then, I could post books in PDF format online for free. I had run the ICE as a way to raise money to publish books. The web plus PDF's made this fundraising obsolete. The fundraising through writing had taken me at least 20 hours a week for 23 years. (Writing my books took as much time.) It was time to quit asking for donations.
