Scope and scholarly standards
Submissions should make a clear, original and evidence-based contribution to Christian theology, biblical studies, early Christianity, church history, religion and civilisation, or a closely related interdisciplinary field. Historical and theological claims should engage appropriate primary and secondary sources.
Work may be declined without external review when it falls outside the journal’s scope, lacks a sufficiently developed scholarly argument, does not meet basic research or citation standards, or is primarily devotional, promotional, polemical or personal commentary without adequate academic method.
The journal welcomes responsible disagreement and does not require authors or reviewers to share a single confessional position. Arguments are assessed for relevance, clarity, evidence, method and scholarly contribution.
