A Journal of Contemporary Approaches
Biblical Interpretation publishes articles on various aspects of critical biblical scholarship as a part of the humanities or social sciences within a complex global context. The journal provides a medium for the development and exercise of a range of current interpretive trajectories, as well as deliberation and appraisal of methodological foci and resources. Alongside individual essays on various subjects submitted by authors, the journal welcomes proposals for special issues that focus on emergent interdisciplinary themes and analytical trends.

Over the past two decades, Biblical Interpretation has provided a professional forum for pushing the disciplinary boundaries of biblical studies: not only in terms of what biblical texts mean, but also what questions to ask of biblical texts, as well as what resources to use in reading biblical literature. Likewise, the journal conceives of "biblical literature" expansively to include ancient literature adjacent to or affiliated with the biblical canon. The journal has thus the distinction of serving as a site for theoretical reflection and methodological experimentation. For example, recent articles have explored queer temporalities, disabilities studies, masculinities studies, animal studies, and trauma theory to list a few examples of such theoretical and methodical boundary-pushing.

An International Journal
Editor-in-Chief:
Religion & Human Rights provides a unique academic forum for the discussion of issues which are of crucial importance and which have global reach. The Journal covers the interactions, conflicts and reconciliations between religions or beliefs on the one hand; and systems for the promotion and protection of human rights, international, regional and national, on the other.

The Journal tackles these issues fearlessly, and draws its materials from all relevant disciplines - theology, anthropology, history, international relations, human rights, religious studies, and many others - but with special emphasis on legal frameworks. It is an indispensable source for all those concerned with monitoring, studying, teaching, analysing or developing policies on the relationship between religion and human rights today.

Religion & Human Rights is a peer-reviewed, academic journal, published by Brill | Nijhoff - the world’s leading imprint for international Human Rights books and periodicals.
