In die Skriflig

Aims & Scope

In die Skriflig/In Luce Verbi is a theological and acclaimed Open Access journal that serves as the official journal of the Reformed Theological Society (Gereformeerde Teologiese Werksgemeenskap). The focus is on the development of Reformed Theology and its significance for faith and life today. The angle of approach is the assumption of the classic reformed confession that God reveals Himself in Creation and Scripture. The self-revelation of God can be investigated scientifically, and the journal operates within this paradigm. However, the journal also operates in view of the foundational Reformed principle of Semper Reformanda, which entails a critical engagement with the classic Reformed traditions, as well as a discourse with other theological traditions with the aim to enrich and apply Reformed Theology in a changing public domain. Therefore, the journal encourages research within all the disciplines in theology and is specifically interested in innovative and original research that engages critically with the basic tenets of reformed theology and contributes to its development both in terms of theological depth and application to modern public contexts. All contributions are peer-reviewed anonymously by at least three scholars who are recognised as specialists in the particular field of study. English, Afrikaans and Dutch are the general languages of publication, but articles in German will also be considered.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
