About the Journal

Goddess Thealogy: An International Journal for the Study of Feminism and Religion is a leading international journal that provides the forum for critical exploration and cultivation of Sacred Feminine scholarship as it relates to feminist thealogy, feminist deasophy, and feminist praxis. Goddess Thealogy is interdisciplinary in that it encourages the wide range of diverse thealogical and deasophical methods, engagement with the full spectrum of feminist theories and methodologies, and interaction with the social sciences, social theory, philosophy, critical theory, the arts, and the humanities. Whilst academic in its orientation, the journal is intended to be accessible to a broad spectrum of readers, whether theologically trained or not. Its discussion of contemporary issues and past concerns as they relate to the traditions of the Goddess is not narrowly scholastic, but sets those concerns in a practical perspective. We encourage all kinds of thealogical and deasophical exploration including articles that contain pictures and art.

The journal promotes:

• Debate amongst Goddess thealogians and deasophists from diverse perspectives
• Critical engagement of current thealogies and deasophies that predominate in the scholarly field and in the broader Goddess communities
• New ways of doing thealogy and deasophy
• Empirically grounded theorizing and thealogizing as well as more conceptual work
• The crossing of theoretical and disciplinary boundaries
• Work by Goddess scholars and practitioners, feminist thealogians, and feminist deasophists from all over the world
• Writing which is impassioned and politically charged and values subjectivity
• Scholarship that engages in feminist praxis, bridging theory and practice
