A surprise Easter gift: the relaunched Bible and Critical Theory journal. It has a new website, new look, new energy … you get the picture.

For our relaunch we have a bumper issue (7.1), with a spate of articles and book reviews. And best of all, the journal is now open access and thereby free. It is indexed by ATLA, DOAJ and Scopus.

All back issues are available on the new site.

For librarians, please add the journal to your open access catalogue, if you have not done so already.
