A new electronic, peer reviewed, open access journal in theology launched during AAR\/SBL. Here is the information about the journal from its web site, http:\/\/www.sjut.org\/journals\/ojs\/index.php\/soma\/:<\/a><\/p>\n

Soma <\/em>is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access theology journal published online in the heart of Africa. The title, Soma, is a hybridized word. In Greek it is a noun. It means \u201cbody\u201d. In Swahili it is a verb. It means \u201cto read\u201d or \u201cto study\u201d. This journal seeks to develop a body of theological knowledge, practice, and reflection across languages, cultures, disciplines and economic backgrounds. In these interstitial spaces and moments theological discourses and theological counter-discourses will emerge. Consequently, while the journal is interested in modern theology generally, it will give priority to theologizing that is consciously done on the boundaries or margins of well-established theological discourses and theologizing that is done on the boundaries or margins of society.\u00a0 <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n
