The Bible and Critical Theory

Aims & Scope

The Bible and Critical Theoryis an exploratory and innovative online scholarly journal. The journal explores the intersections between critical theory, understood in the broadest sense, and biblical studies. It publishes peer-reviewed articles that look at critical theory and biblical studies from a wide range of perspectives. We particularly welcome article submissions (or special issue ideas) that consider biblical studies from perspectives that are often marginalized, silenced, or elided within traditional biblical scholarship. Creative approaches are also welcome. The journal has an active series of book reviews, which are published with each issue. BCTcontent is available freely on an open-access (non-commercial) basis. It is also aggregated by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and full -text access is available on the fabulous American Theological Library Association (ATLA) Religion Database.

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.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
