Scottish Journal of Theology is an academic journal publishing research in Christian theology, systematic theology, historical theology and related theological studies. Established in 1948 and published by Cambridge University Press, the journal has featured work by leading theologians and academics affiliated with institutions such as University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, University of St Andrews, and international centres like Harvard Divinity School, Yale Divinity School, and Princeton Theological Seminary. The publication has engaged discussions linked to figures and movements including John Knox, Karl Barth, Thomas Aquinas, Augustine of Hippo, and institutions such as the Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic Church.
Founded in 1948, the journal emerged in the post‑war period alongside initiatives at University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, and University of St Andrews to renew theological scholarship. Early editorial leadership included scholars connected to Scottish Reformation studies and to debates involving John Calvin, Martin Luther, Richard Hooker, and Edward Irving. The journal has navigated twentieth‑century controversies involving Karl Barth, Paul Tillich, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and later dialogues with scholars from Princeton Theological Seminary, Yale University, University of Oxford, and University of Cambridge. Over decades it reflected intellectual currents represented by movements such as Neo‑orthodoxy, Liberation theology, Feminist theology, and exchanges with thinkers from New Testament scholarship schools based at Baylor University, Duke University, and Chicago Theological Seminary.
The journal publishes articles on subjects spanning Systematic theology, Historical theology, Biblical studies, Patristics, Reformation studies, and intersections with ethics and philosophy exemplified by references to Thomas Aquinas, Immanuel Kant, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and G. W. F. Hegel. Contributions address dialogues with traditions such as Anglicanism, Presbyterianism, Roman Catholicism, Orthodox Church (Eastern Orthodox Church), and Evangelicalism, while engaging thinkers including Augustine of Hippo, Anselm of Canterbury, Jonathan Edwards, Søren Kierkegaard, and Karl Rahner. The journal includes research articles, review essays, and book reviews concerning publishers and institutions like Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, T&T Clark, Routledge, and SAGE Publications.
The editorial board is composed of scholars affiliated with universities and seminaries such as University of Edinburgh, University of Aberdeen, University of St Andrews, University of Glasgow, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Harvard Divinity School. Editors and board members have included figures whose work engages with scholars like Karl Barth, Paul Tillich, Jürgen Moltmann, Elizabeth A. Johnson, and Miłosz Kozak; the board oversees a double‑blind peer review process drawing referees from networks centered on Oxford University, Cambridge University, Yale University, Duke University, and University of Chicago. Editorial policies reflect standards shared with periodicals such as The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Theological Studies, Scottish Historical Review, and Modern Theology.
Published quarterly by Cambridge University Press, the journal issues print and online editions available through institutional subscriptions held by libraries at University of Edinburgh, British Library, Bodleian Library, Library of Congress, and research consortia including JSTOR and Project MUSE collections. Access models have included subscription, pay‑per‑view, and hybrid open access options paralleling trends at Oxford University Press, Springer, and Taylor & Francis. Back issues and archives are used by scholars at Princeton Theological Seminary Library, Yale Divinity School Library, and national libraries such as the National Library of Scotland.
