Religious Studies and Theology is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes new, critical scholarship in the study of religion, including scholarship that examines theological work in the world’s religious traditions. The subtitle introduced with volume 25 signals a commitment to interdisciplinary research While international in scope and intention, and welcoming international submissions, the journal has always played a major role in bringing a Canadian perspective to recent debates. In addition to open issues, the journal publishes thematic issues, most recently Volume 29.2 dealing with religion and the media. Each issue includes book reviews or reviews of digital media.
