Modern Believing is Modern Church’s journal, published quarterly by Liverpool University Press.
The aims of Modern Believing are
- to publish fresh, constructive, tradition-informed, responsible, open-minded, challenging, easily readable theology;
- to keep its readers in touch with recent developments in all branches of Christian theology, and with progressive accounts of Christian beliefs and doctrines, in dialogue with other disciplines.
The aims of Modern Believing are achieved, in partnership with our co-publication Signs of the Times, by
- establishing themes for each edition, inviting articles from established and emerging scholars,
- publishing reviews of books, especially books which illuminate the themes of each edition,
- and publishing edited presentations from conferences and events of Modern
Church.
Students in universities, colleges and theological institutions which subscribe to the EBSCO database or to Liverpool University Press, may access Modern Believing online. Subscription to the journal is £5 per month which includes four issues per year, access to the back copies of the journal online, and full membership of Modern Church.
- Editor: Prof. Adrian Thatcher.
- Reviews Editor: Dr. Victoria Turner
