Author Guidelines

Cranmer Theological Journal accepts two types of submissions:

  • Article: 4,000–8,000 words (excluding title, author information, and abstract). If the submission fits the scope and author guidelines, the Editors will solicit double-blind peer reviews prior to making their editorial decision.

  • Book Review: 500–1000 words. The decision to accept a book review is at the sole discretion of the Book Review Editor, and reviews longer than 600 words should be discussed beforehand with the review editor.

Prior queries are required for book reviews ([email protected]) and encouraged for regular articles ([email protected]). The query should be just a paragraph or two about what you have in mind, and why you think it would be of interest to the journal’s readers.

Before planning your submission, you should first read the April 2024 version of our complete author guidelines.
