Critical Research on Religion is a peer-reviewed, international journal focusing on the development of a critical theoretical framework and its
application to research on religion. It provides a common venue for those engaging in critical analysis in theology and religious studies, as
well as for those who critically study religion in the other social sciences and humanities such as philosophy, sociology, anthropology,
psychology, history, and literature.
A critical approach examines religious phenomena according to both their positive and negative impacts. It draws on methods including but
not restricted to the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, Marxism, post-structuralism, feminism, psychoanalysis, ideological criticism,
post-colonialism, ecocriticism, and queer studies.
The journal seeks to enhance an understanding of how religious institutions and religious thought may simultaneously serve as a source of
domination and progressive social change. It attempts to understand the role of religion within social and political conflicts. These conflicts
are often based on differences of race, class, ethnicity, region, gender, and sexual orientation all of which are shaped by social, political, and
economic inequity.
Peer Review
Critical Research on Religion operates a strictly anonymous peer review process in which the reviewers name is withheld from the author and,
the authors name from the reviewer. Please ensure that you have read the manuscript submission guidelines before submitting your
manuscript. Only manuscripts of sufficient quality that meet the aims and scope of Critical Research on Religion will be accepted for review.
We aim for each manuscript that is accepted for peer review to receive three reviews but in any event, each manuscript is reviewed by at
least two referees. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible.
