Open Topic Call

Academic Call

We invite undergraduate and graduate students, as well as early-career post-docs, to submit to Theophron’s open topic issue. This issue accepts scholarship on any topic relating to Christianity which is not covered in another live call for papers. Scholars in all fields, particularly philosophy (both analytic and continental), theology, history, and biblical studies, are welcome to submit.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions should be between 4,000–6,500 words* (not including abstract), conform to the Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition), and be original, unpublished works prepared for double-blind peer review. Please include an abstract of no more than 250 words, uploading the entire document in PDF format using the form below. Do not place your name or any identifying information on the submitted manuscript—author identities will remain anonymous to reviewers and editors until after final acceptance/rejection decisions.

Submissions received by June 3, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern will be considered for publication.

Direct all questions to submissions@theophron.org.  

*Submissions outside this range will be considered only in cases of exceptional quality and/or interest to Theophron and its readership.  

Poetry & Reflections Call

We invite individuals outside of the academic study of Christianity to submit a poem or personal reflection to Theophron. Poems and reflections may address any topic related to Christianity which is not covered in another live call. Reflections need not be academic essays but instead journal-like meditations on any theme. Successful reflections will recount a personal experience, wrestle with a relevant idea, or relate insights from the author’s spiritual life to a theological point. Poems can take any form.

Submission Guidelines

Email reflections between 650–1,500 words and poems not exceeding one single-spaced page directly to submissions@theophron.org. In the email, please also include your full name, occupation, and state of residence before attaching your submission(s) in both PDF and .docx formats. 

Submissions received by June 3, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern will be considered for publication.
