September 24, 2014 – Leiden (NL) / Boston (MA) – Two journals in Brill’s growing Theology program – International Journal of Public Theology (IJPT) and the Journal of Reformed Theology – are now included in SCOPUS.
A sign of continued development in Brill’s Theology program, the International Journal of Public Theology (IJPT) and the Journal of Reformed Theology (JRT) are now included in SCOPUS. To celebrate, free issues of each journal (IJPT 4:3; JRT 4:3) are available online through 31 December 2014.
The reviewers commented “IJPT is a very well cited journal and one that is highly significant in the field. It fully merits inclusion in SCOPUS.” The International Journal of Public Theology, affiliated with the Global Network for Public Theology, is a platform for original interdisciplinary research in the field of public theology. Public theology is the result of the growing need for theology to interact with public issues of contemporary society. It seeks to engage in dialogue with different academic disciplines such as politics, economics, cultural studies, religious studies, as well as with spirituality, globalization and society in general.

In addition, Brill’s Journal of Reformed Theology was reviewed as “a well-cited journal in a significant field.” JRT is a peer reviewed international journal of systematic, historical, and biblical theology. JRT is an instrument for the study of living and contextual theology that provides a forum for debate on classical and contemporary theological issues and offers an update on new theological and biblical literature.
