Why Submit to Literature and Theology?

Literature and Theology is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that publishes work pertaining to the study of literature and theology. The terms literature and theology are broadly understood. “Literature” includes literary work of any genre and extends to other artistic media. “Theology” includes all global religions, concepts of religion, spirituality, the relationship between the secular and sacred, and any aspect of religious culture. Work submitted to Literature and Theology should address the intersection between literature and theology rather than focusing solely on one term or the other.
