Submissions

The goal of the American Journal of Theology & Philosophy is to promote lively conversation among theologians and philosophers by providing a forum for discussions in the following areas:

1. the interface between theology and philosophy, especially as shaped by American empiricist, naturalist, process, and pragmatist traditions;

2. the development of liberal religious thought in America.

The Journal is published three times per year: in January, May, and September. Manuscripts on topics related to one or more of the areas identified above should be sent to the Editor by email. Manuscripts should be approximately 15 to 18 (and no longer than 25) double-spaced pages. We follow The Chicago Manual of Style, and use footnotes instead of endnotes. All papers are refereed using a peer‑review system. Direct manuscript inquiries to Editor Gary Slater at garyslater@gmail.com.

Peer Review Policy:

The practice is for the editor to make an initial decision about whether a just-submitted manuscript merits peer review. If it does, then two reviewers are solicited who are chosen on the basis of their expertise in the subject matter at hand, and who agree to provide reviewer feedback according to an agreed timetable. Reviews are double-blind, i.e., the author does not know the identity of the reviewers, and vice versa. Reviewers are external to the journal, meaning that the editor selects reviewers who are experts in the field and are not directly involved in the editorial management of the journal. 

Once both sets of reviewer feedback are received, this feedback is shared with the author. There are four possibilities at this point: rejection, acceptance-without-revisions, acceptance-with-revisions, revise-and-resubmit. A timetable for revision is also communicated. Normally, two rounds of reviewer feedback is the most that a given manuscript receives, and two is the number of reviewers who provide feedback. 

The one exception to this external peer review policy is the AJTP lecture, which is held each year at the annual meeting of the AAR/SBL, and is given at the invitation of the editor with the promise of publication after the fact.
