CFP: European Journal for Philosophy of Religion

We would like to once more invite all professional philosophers of religion to consider submitting papers and book review to the newly established European Journal for Philosophy of Religion (EJPR) (see: http://www.philosophy-of-religion.eu).

EJPR is an official journal of the Central European Society for Philosophy of Religion. The extensive Advisory Board consists predominantly of the leading philosophers of religion from Europe and North America. The refereeing process of the journal is being overseen by the chair of the Advisory Board, Prof. Richard Swinburne of Oxford University.

EJPR’s special mission is to enable a fruitful exchange between representatives of various traditions of the contemporary philosophy of religion dominant in Europe and elsewhere. Although the journal is committed to no position and invites papers without restriction of philosophical method or orientation, it encourages publication of papers in which a clear philosophical questions about God and other issues of
philosophy of religion are being asked, a clear thesis is defended, and clear arguments are given.

EJPR will be published biannually. The first issue is scheduled for December 2008.

If you would like to submit a paper, please read the Author Guidelines on the journal’s website first.

We would like also to encourage the libraries, institutions and individual philosophers to consider subscribing to the journal.

If you would like to contact the Editor, please, e-mail: journal@philosophy-of-religion.eu.
