IT’S HERE: VOLUME 3, ISSUE 1

It is with great excitement that we publish this third volume of the Journal of Comparative Theology.

 

The third volume of the Journal of Comparative Theology presents articles concerning both the theory and the practice of comparative theology. This expanding inquiry into the field, represented by both the number and various subject matter of the submissions we received, demonstrates that the field continues to grow, especially among undergraduate and graduate students.

Volume 1, Issue 1


It is with great excitement that we publish this premiere issue of the Journal of Comparative Theology.


The subject of this issue was stated in the form of a question: “Why comparative theology today?” This growing field is blossoming for a reason, and we sought input from a variety of voices as to why and how the discipline is taking shape. We believe that the three articles published do so in unique ways.
Theme of the Issue:
Why comparative theology today?
