My friend Robert Heaney let me know that a new journal, SOMA: An International Journal of Theological Discourses and Counter-Discourses, of which he is the editor, has issued a call for papers for its inaugural issue:
CALL FOR PAPERS ON THE THEME OF: “THEOLOGY & GLOBALIZATION”
Articles
Soma is now accepting articles on the theme of “Theology and Globalization” for its inaugural (2011) edition. Along with a guest editorial by Rowan Williams, the first edition will feature a lead article by Joerg Rieger. In his book, Globalization and Theology
(Abingdon Press, 2010) Rieger argues that theology cannot be understood without globalization(s) and globalization(s) cannot be understood without theology. Rieger asks how understandings and practices of globalization(s) impact Christian practices and Christian beliefs about God. What type of power is at work in globalization(s) and how does that relate to visions of divine power? Can any practice of globalization enhance the well-being of human beings?
Articles addressing these issues and related issues will be considered for the first edition of Soma. Articles should be no more than 8,000 words. Submissions should be sent to [email protected] by 30 January 2011.
Emerging Voices
Soma encourages submissions, in the form of both short articles and book reviews, from unpublished scholars and experienced practitioners. Submissions should be between 4,000-5,000 words and be sent to [email protected] by 30 January 2011. A list of books for review can be obtained by contacting the editor.
