The BJRT’s Short History

The Berkeley Journal of Religion and Theology is the academic journal of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. It aims to be an international, interreligious, and interdisciplinary forum for scholarly discussion on topics of interest in religious studies and theology. Scholarly articles in all related disciplines and methods are welcome. Potential authors interested in publishing a paper in the BJRT, but are unsure of fit, should first visit the GTU’s website (www.gtu.edu) and get to know the sorts of scholarship that is being done on “Holy Hill.” Any further questions can be directed to the Managing Editor.
