PURPOSE STATEMENT

 

To provide an inter-tradition forum for scholars who affirm the historic Ecumenical Creeds of Christendom to constructively communicate contemporary theologies, developments, ideas, commentaries, and insights pertaining to theology, culture, and history toward reforming and elevating Western Christianity. ATI seeks a critical function as much or more so as a quasi-ecumenical one. The purpose is not to erase or weaken the distinctives of the various ecclesial traditions, but to widen the dialogue and increase inter-tradition understanding while mutually affirming Christ’s power to transform culture and the importance of strengthening Western Christianity with special reference to Her historic roots.

 

ABOUT

 

American Theological Inquiry (ATI) was formed in 2007 by Drs. Gannon Murphy (PhD, St. David’s College, Univ. Wales, Theology; Presbyterian/Reformed) and Stephen Patrick (PhD, Univ. Illinois, Philosophy; Eastern Orthodox) to open up space for diverse Christian academicians, who affirm the Ecumenical Creeds, to contribute research throughout the broader Christian scholarly community in America and the West broadly.

 

Distribution. ATI is distributed to over 4700 Christian scholars, clergy, and other interested parties, primarily in the U.S. and U.K. The journal is distributed via email to subscribers free of charge in a PDF format, or, for purchase in a print and bound edition through Wipf and Stock Publishers.

  Theological, cultural, philosophical, ecclesial trends in the Western world.

  Perspectives on history/historical events from an orthodox viewpoint.
