Christianity & Literature

a national scholarly journal


Christianity & Literature is devoted to the scholarly exploration of how literature engages Christian thought, experience, and practice. The journal presupposes no particular theological orientation but respects an orthodox understanding of Christianity as a historically defined faith. Contributions appropriate for submission should demonstrate a keen awareness of the author's own critical assumptions in addressing significant issues of literary history, interpretation, and theory.

The journal is sponsored by the Conference on Christianity and Literature, a national organization interested in the relationship of Christianity and literature and dedicated to both scholarly excellence and collegial exchange. It is a member of CELJ, the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. Each issue of the journal, which has been published for more than 50 years, contains peer-reviewed scholarly articles, book reviews, poetry, and news and announcements of interest to CCL members.

Students interested in an internship should contact the co-editor of the journal, Dr. Maire Mullins.
