Theology in Scotland

Theology in Scotland is a journal of theology which is general in scope, but which is rooted in the Scottish theological tradition. Founded in 1994, the journal is published in print format twice a year, in spring and autumn, with the full text of each issue being made available online one year after print publication from http://ojs.st-andrews.ac.uk/index.php/TIS.
The journal publishes articles and book reviews from authors from across the theological spectrum, and particularly welcomes submissions which focus on aspects of Scottish theology. To date, these have included: studies of the work of prominent Scottish theologians; responses to current issues in the Scottish church and nation; and aspects of Scottish church history.
