A list of biblical studies journals

March 22nd, 2008 by Danny Zacharias

This post is to solicit some help from my fellow bloggers and deinde readers. I am trying to make a list of biblical studies journals along with a link to their main page.

First off, does anyone know of such a listing that already exists so I can save some time?

Second, this list is meant for biblical studies. Obviously this means we stray into other disciplines, but I’m trying to stick to the middle. This means I’ve included some journals that do some biblical and theological, but didn’t list periodicals that are totally theological.

So, if you can help me out I’d gratefully appreciate it. And I’ll post the final list somewhere too. If titles below are not linked, it’s because I can’t find its homepage or it is no longer published and doesn’t have a homepage.

    Don’t forget the Journal of Theological Interpretation (www.eisebrauns.com/jti) — now in its second year of publication….

    Danny,

    I would suggest also adding Review & Expositor. It is one of the oldest of journals having been around over 100 years (it is accessible via ATLASerials). It has several issues a year that focus specifically on biblical themes. By way of disclosure, I am bias since I am on the editoral board. The website is http://www.rande.org/

    Thanks for creating this list of biblical journals.

    Cheers,

    David

    You could check your list against the one at Tyndale House:

    http://www.tyndalehouse.co.uk/Periodicals.php

    Not homepages, but useful contents listings:

    http://www.biblicalstudies.org.uk/articles_themelios.php

    http://www.biblicalstudies.org.uk/articles_vox_evangelica.php

    http://www.biblicalstudies.org.uk/articles_bets.php

    But you probably know all that already.

    Cheers,
    Holger

    Danny,

    I’m the editor of the Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus. Thanks for mentioning us. I should point out that, while your URL does point to the historical issues of JSHJ, this journal was recently purchased by E. J. Brill, and so a current URL for current issues should point to: www.brill.nl/jshj.

    Best wishes,

    Bob (Robert L. Webb)
