Congratulations to editors Oliver Crisp, Michael Rea, Trent Dougherty and Kevin Diller on the launch of an important new open access journal: The Journal of Analytic Theology.
What is “analytic” theology?
Good question. Roughly: theology done using the tools of contemporary (typically English-language) “analytic” philosophy.
What is that? Here’s one answer by a master practitioner. Also, this journal aims to “explore theological and meta-theological topics in a manner that prizes terminological clarity and argumentative rigor.” I assume that the topics will not be limited to Christian ones, although glancing through the names on the editorial board, I don’t recognize the names of anyone I know to be a non-Christian.
I’m sure this is going to be an important source both for philosophers and for theologians. The inaugural issue in fact features some interactions between the two.
It also features an interesting article by trinities contributor Scott Williams – congratulations, Scott! Maybe I’ll post a few comments or here on trinities soon.
Finally, kudos are due to the Center for the Philosophy of Religion at the University of Notre Dame and Baylor University for their support of this project. Their support is advancing the cause of Christian thought.
Love the logo. If they made another, they could talk about their official “logos.”
OK, I’ll stop.
John – yes, it should come out this year in Theology Today. I can’t post it until it comes out; but I assume it should be not long… stay tuned.
Scott – fair enough – can’t do everything in one paper.
Thank you for posting this! It will be a great resource.

You allluded to this journal some time ago, and mentioned that you were preparing a paper which discussed some of Bauckham’s writings.
Any idea when this might appear?
Blessings
John
I’m rather excited about this journal too. And, I look forward to your comments Dale. Clearly my piece assumes trinitarianism and offers no arguments against Unitarianism. The idea is that if you are trinitarian, then “soft LT” might be a help to articulate trinitarianism.
