Manuscript submissions should be addressed to the General Editor. Emailed submissions are acceptable (gmurphy [at] atijournal [dot] org). ATI is open to diverse submissions concerning theology, culture, and history from the perspective of historic, creedal Christianity. Particular topics of interest, however, generally include:

•  Theology (Biblical, philosophical, historical, and systematic).

•  Engagement with the Patristic literature.

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

•  Perspectives on history/historical events from an orthodox viewpoint.

•  Cultural/philosophical apologetics.

Book reviews should be submitted to: bookreviews [at] atijournal [dot] org (you can also reach Samuel Youngs, Book Reviews Editor, directly at: syoungs [at] atijournal [dot] org.

Requirements. Submissions should conform to the following standards:

1.  Include your full name, title and/or affiliation, and a brief (i.e., one sentence) statement affirming the Ecumenical Creeds of Christendom (Apostles’, Athanasian, Nicæno-Constantinopolitan, Chalcedonian). Exceptions are permissible with reference to the filioque clauses and Athanasian anathemas.

2.  The work has not been submitted elsewhere, or, permissory documentation is provided by the previous publisher indicating approval for publication in ATI.

3.  Submit MSS or book reviews in a Microsoft Word, RTF, or text format.

PURPOSE

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. American Theological Inquiry (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, creedal roots.

ABOUT

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