Published by Africajournals, Pharos Journal of Theology, formerly known as the Ekklesiastikos Pharos was originally published in Alexandria (Egypt) directly by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate as a theological review at the beginning of the twentieth century. Consequently, it is one of the oldest scholarly periodicals in Africa. Currently edited in Johannesburg, South Africa, the journal publishes compelling original research that contributes to the development of scholarly understanding and interpretation in a wide range of theological fields.

Published by University of Hawai’i Press, Journal of Daoist Studies is an annual publication dedicated to the scholarly exploration of Daoism in all its different dimensions. Each issue has three main parts: Academic Articles; Forum on Contemporary Practice; and News of the Field.

Published by Revue Contacts, Contacts: Revue Française de l’Orthodoxie was founded in 1949 to bring together the Orthodox living in France in a “lived” testimony of Orthodoxy in the West. The journal strives to demonstrate concretely the unity and universality of the Orthodox Church in space and time, in prospect of a rapprochement between Christians. Historically, Contacts is linked to the Fraternité orthodoxe en Europe occidentale, an ecclesial movement at the foundation of which three renovators of Contacts in 1959 (Olivier Clément, Boris Bobrinskoy, Elisabeth Behr-Sigel) played a decisive role.

Published by S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University Interreligious Relations is a peer-reviewed Series of Occasional Papers covering issues of religious diversity, including questions relating to social cohesion, religious contextualization, religious-secular interactions, bridge-building between faiths, religiously-motivated violence, and peacebuilding, as well as cognate areas. While its focus is contemporary contexts of religious diversity, it will also consider historical and methodological questions. Though the coverage is international in scope, there is a focus on Asia.

African Journal of Gender and Religion (AJGR) is the first, online, double-blind peer-reviewed, open access journal for the transdisciplinary study of gender and religion in Africa. AJGR is a bi-annual publication housed in the Desmond Tutu Centre for Religion and Social Justice at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. The journal seeks to explore the ways in which power operates in gendered relationships and the ways in which this power is determined and promoted by religious and cultural norms.

Perspectivas is the online, peer-reviewed, bilingual subscription journal of the Hispanic Theological Initiative (HTI). A peer-reviewed journal featuring the contributions of Latina/o scholars in theology and religion, Perspectivas is a vehicle to reach a broad audience, including faculty and students, as well as a growing number of churches and other community organizations.

The WATS Journal: An Online Journal from West Africa Theological Seminary is an academic journal that publishes cutting-edge research in missiology, biblical theology, Christian arts, leadership and management, Church history, Pastoral theology and practice, ecclesiology, and Church-state relations.

Ökumenisches Forum – Journal for Ecumenical and Patristic Studies publishes peer-reviewed papers in English and German, lectures concerning ecumenical theology, church fathers and mothers and the Early Church, and proceedings and conference reports with an emphasis on ecumenism in Austria.

道風: 漢語神學學刊 [Logos and Pneuma: Chinese Journal of Theology], published by the Institute of Sino-Chinese Studies, intends to give a new lease of life to Christian academic studies within the new Chinese academic context. Christian theology and culture must draw on the fabric of Chinese culture and social experience in forming a Chinese Christian theological culture that has genuine Chinese philosophical and cultural flavor. Christian theological discipline must be construed within Chinese academical thinking which can make Christian theology an element of the Chinese cultural and philosophical system. Third, this is a shared undertaking by Chinese scholars of religion, be they from the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South-East Asia, or North America.

Journal of Dharma Studies: Philosophy, Theology, Ethics, and Culture, published by Springer, employs theoretical and empirical methodologies for the intersubjective understanding of, and real-world applications of the conceptual resources, textual sources, and experiential practices — including ritual, social, ethical, liturgical, contemplative, or communitarian — to foster critical-constructive reflections on Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist traditions (what is now referred to as Dharma Studies).
