St John's College at Durham University have just launched their new Theology and Ministry Journal. The journal focusses on practical theology and offers some explorations written by experienced researchers and some excellent explorations from research students.
The journal comes out of Cranmer Hall and the Wesley Study Centre, Anglican and Methodist ministerial training colleges which are constituent institutions to St John's, alongside our own CODEC research centre.
The editors introduce the journal in this way:
Theology and Ministry: An Online Journal is a peer-reviewed annual publication featuring innovative work at the interdisciplinary interface of theological study and ministerial practice and reflection.
It is committed to providing rapid and open dissemination of high quality work which will be of service to both the Church and the academy. We welcome correspondence regarding the journal and its aims, as well as proposals for submissions
The first volume of the journal includes an article from Richard Briggs and myself about the Bible as Augmented Reality - a playful mixing of digital technology and biblical interpretation.
